LOW-CALORIE STRAWBERRY JAM |
||
(Source: Heloise Helpline) |
||
Delicious low-calorie almost-like-real jam. Use whatever fruit is in season—peaches, grapes, and plums are wonderful too. Make one batch at a time and it will keep in the fridge for up to several weeks. |
||
| ¾ - 1 cup | fresh fruit, cubed |
75 – 250 mL |
| 1/2 tsp | lemon juice |
2 mL |
⅛ to ¼ cup |
apple juice |
25 – 50 mL |
| ½ - 1-tsp | fructose or sugar substitute |
2 – 5 mL |
(depends on sweetness of fruit) |
||
| Directions: |
||
| 1. Mix all the ingredients and cook for three or four minutes on high heat. | ||
| 2. Taste the jam at this point and add more sugar substitute if it’s a little tart. | ||
| 3. Sprinkle one or two teaspoons unflavoured gelatin over it (and stir until gelatin is completely dissolved, to make it firm.) | ||
| Taste is great—and the only calories (almost) are from the natural fruit. | ||
