Recommended Posts

check the UGA canning site. I probably have recipes for it. were you talking preserves and jam or plain fruit?

I don't have time right now. Lots going on, but check that canning site, they may have simple canning recipe for what you want.

I just ran across some info on various ways to sweeten fruit - sort of put it together into one 'table' hope it helps...

Syrups for Canning

Extra Light..........20% sugar...........1 1/4 c sugar + 5 1/2 c water = 6 c syrup

Light Syrup..........30% sugar...........2 1/4 c subar + 5 1/4 c water = 6 1/2 c syrup

Meduim Syrup.........40% sugar...........3 1/4 c sugar + 5 c water = 7 cups syrup

Heavy Syrup..........50% sugar...........4 1/4 c sugar + 4 1/4 c water = 7 c syrup

Corn Syrup...............................1 1/2 c sugar + 1 c corn syrup + 3 c water = 6 c syrup

Honey Sweetened..........................1 c sugar + 1 c honey + 4 c water = 5 c syrup

Water (unsweetened)......................0 sugar (or anything else) + 5 c water = 5 ci[s

Fruit Juice* 'syrup'......................0 sugar + 5 c fruit juice = 5 cups 'syrup'

Low Calorie 'syrup'......................0 sugar + 2 1/2 c fruit juice + 2 1/2 c water = 5 cups 'syrup'

zero calorie 'syrup'.....................Splenda to taste + 5 c water = 5 c 'syrup'

*Popular fruit juices commonly used: white grape juice, pear juice, apple juice

 

I just love having so many options!
