Low Calorie Strawberry Jam

PDFPrintE-mail

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
½ 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.
