You do not need sugar. Sugar is added to improve flavor, help stabilize color, and retain the shape of the fruit. It is not added as a preservative. See the resources at the bottom of http://pickyourown.org/canning_without_sugar.htm

Oops, sorry, you're right I forgot about that. Maybe you could use Splenda and freeze it. I like freezing better than canning anyway.

Sugar preserves the food. Using Splenda while canning would not be safe because it wouldn't preserve. You will run the risk of food poisining.

You could try allreceips.com splenda.com or equal.com I think freezing would produce a better product. But I don't see why you can't make your favorite filling using splenda or equal and can just as you would reg. filling.
