Using the green stevia leaves as part of the infusion with the flowers would probably be the best tasting method. When you reduce the sugar in jelly below 55% regular pectin will not set. I use Pomona's Universal Pectin which works with low sugar recipe. The question is, this low sugar pectin is activated by the calcium content in fruit, so - is there enough calcium in flowers and stevia leaves to activate this pectin?
