Answers:
yea of course.. you can buy strawberry jelly with splenda in the stores.
yaa sure do whatever you like
Only if you want sh!t flavored jelly
Part of the thickening comes from the sugar, you need a recipe that is specific for sugar-free jelly. Otherwise it won't turn out right.Pectin needs sugar in order to thicken,most recipes that call themselves sugar-free use a high sugar juice,like apple or grape juice to soak with the pectin.So it depends on how sugarfree you want to go. There are several recipes that use a sugarfree Jello base to make it with.That might be your best bet. cooks.com had some good recipes, You might try there.
It would taste a whole lot sweeter if u used splenda
"You can use Splenda instead of sugar; but only if you use the No-Sugar pectin (in the pink boxes). And I'll warn you that if you don't add ANY sugar the jam will be a bit more bland, the color will be darker and it generally is a bit more runny. It seems to work best to use a 50-50 mix of Sugar and Splenda or fruit juice and Splenda. ''
