I reduced my sugar even further, down to 2 cups. My pectin said I didn't have to put in any sugar at all, and I don't like really sweet jams. My only complaint is that it has too much cardamom for my tastes. Next time I will just put 1 tsp in. It's good, but it's potent stuff, and 2 tsp seemed to overwhealm all other flavors.
