Joanne, off the top of my head, I don’t know of any that specifically allow jams and jellies that do not fall under Part 150 of CFR Title 21. Maybe Wisconsin? Their law is pretty loose when it comes to canned goods. Of course, there’s always Wyoming, which allows almost anything. I think most states that allow anything low-sugar would require the resulting product to be acidic. Fruit preserves would likely be allowed in a number of states if their final pH is 4.6 or below.
David, Do you know which states have laws permitting low sugar jams, jellies, preserves? Thanks, Joanne Littau
