Honey is a mixture of simple fruit sugars like fructose and glucose that is collected by the bees from flowers as nectar. The total sugars content of honey is about 70% to 80%. The bees repeatedly drink the nectar and remove some of the water in their bodies then regurgitate it (throw it up) back into the honey comb until it is concentrated enough to be honey.
A typical honey analysis would be:
- Fructose: 38.2%
- Glucose: 31.3%
- Sucrose: 1.3%
- Maltose: 7.1%
- Water: 17.2%
- Higher sugars: 1.5%
- Ash: 0.2%
- Other/undetermined: 3.2%

How do you make sugar free jam?
Jam can't truly be "sugar free", as the fruits contain natural sugars, however, you CAN make "no sugar added" jams. You simply follow your standard recipes, and replace the amount of sugar it calls for with the proper amount of artificial sweetener. The sweetener you choose will have a conversion chart on the packaging. Do NOT substitute the same quantity of artificial sweetener for sugar. For instance, if it calls for 1 cup of Sugar, you would add, say, 1 tsp. of Splenda (this can vary, depending on the sweetener).
