Furthermore, can you substitute regular pectin for low sugar pectin? My (untried) suggestion, would be to either cut the amount of pectin by a third or to have the amount of sugar be halfway between low and regular amount. So if the low sugar recipe calls for 1 cup and the classic pectin calls for 7 cups, go for 3-4 cups.
