If I try it next spring I thought about using therm-flo instead of cornstarch, as I use that in pie fillings that I freeze, and there's no change in it after thawing. I'm just not sure if the proportions would be the same. I guess I'll just experiment!Twilanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6908693416050689555.post-16922947973758024302012-10-09T22:31:58.106-04:002012-10-09T22:31:58.106-04:00Kim, yes.

A person also has to watch what they buy when getting Agave, or it can be a lot worse for you than sugar. So you have to make sure you buy the RAW blue agave nectar...and that can be difficult to find sometimes...Mom loves Agave Nectar too, and uses it quite a lot. I'm glad it has been working for you! I prefer to use honey though. We get ours locally and by the 5 gallon bucket. So I use honey exclusively. I have experimented with a lot of other sweeteners and always end up returning to honey.My Slice of Skyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02814722166468564449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6908693416050689555.post-83342040846520241742012-09-23T15:25:32.693-04:002012-09-23T15:25:32.693-04:00Vonda, I am sorry I am late in finding this but I ...Vonda, I am sorry I am late in finding this but I agree that jam has way too much sugar. No wonder our kids are wired! Any way, I wonder if you have ever tried Agave nectar? I think it has a lower glycemic index. I personally like it better than honey for my sweeteners as it isn't as strong. That of course is the lightest brand. I get mine from Walmart. My blood sugar went to almost normal after I started using Agave.

I honestly think that it would work with any of the box recipes. I haven't tried it though, so I can't say for sure. :) Let me know how your jam turns out!My Slice of Skyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02814722166468564449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6908693416050689555.post-57726103901539366012012-06-14T14:16:37.614-04:002012-06-14T14:16:37.614-04:00hey, no problem. :) So your actually going to make...hey, no problem. :) So your actually going to make some?My Slice of Skyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02814722166468564449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6908693416050689555.post-12576320932080055542012-06-14T14:15:44.249-04:002012-06-14T14:15:44.249-04:00Yep.
