Experienced cooks, I need help please...?!
This is the first time I have ever attempted to make jelly of any kind, the recipe is an old one that I received from a friend that uses beet juice as an ingredient!. I would like to know if I can put less sugar(maybe a 1/2 cup to a cup less as i find this jelly very sweet) and have the jelly turn out the same consistency!. I will leave the recipe below so that you can see all the ingredients and try it if you want!. Try it, it tastes like raspberry jelly and is delicious!!! Thanks in advance for all your help!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Beets are high in sugar and the jello has sugar in it, so I can understand why the 4c!. of sugar would put it over the top!. You can cut back the sugar with no problem, since the Certo and jello will be what makes it set up!.
Old recipes are often way too sweet for modern tastes, I regularly cut back the sugar in such recipes!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

No!. Do not adjust the amount of sugar or other ingredients in a T&T recipe!. You are risking spoilage that way, as the sugar ties up the available liquid and prevents spoiling!.
If you desire a lower sugar recipe, use lower-sugar Sure-Jell (pink box) or other pectin that is designed to work w/ Splenda or reuced quantities of sugar!.
This recipe intrigues me, and I'll bet it's a gorgeous color!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Decreasing the sugar will not change the consistency of the jelly!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Yes you can lower the amount!. The only way that you could cause spoilage is by not adding the correct amount of acid and not sealing it properly!

No thank you!. To me, jelly should be made from fruit, not a vegetable!. And if it's so delicious, try leaving out the raspberry jello!. It'll taste like crap!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
