by Beth Scott
Unless you live close to a city with
a health food store then I’m sure you’ve found out that its nearly
impossible to find sugar free jams that don't contain artificial
sweeteners and other additives that will pack on the pounds, as well as
being harmful to your body.
But then again there is NOTHING stopping you from
trying out a sugar free jam recipe at home.
Now you won’t have to worry that your children
shouldn’t be having jam on their toast, because it’s so filled with
sugar. And you won’t need to worry that putting jam on your toast
is going to ruin your figure.
Here are 2 healthy sugar free jam recipes that are
very EASY to make, so nothing is stopping you now. Go make that
jam...
Blueberry Jam
Recipe
Ingredients:
- 8 cups frozen or fresh blueberries, pureed in a
blender
- 3/4 cup apple juice
- 1 cup honey
- 4 tablespoons and 1 and 1/2 teaspoons lemon
juice
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1. Combine the blueberry puree, apple juice, and lemon juice in
a stainless steel sauce pan. Place the sauce pan on a burner that
has been turned up to high, and stir the mixture until it comes to a
boil.
2.
Add honey, cinnamon, and cloves to the mixture in the sauce pan, and
continue stirring. When the mixture comes to a full boil again,
begin timing it for approximately 20 to 30 minutes.
3.
The jam is ready when it is thick and sticks SLIGHTLY to the bottom of
the pan (be careful it doesn’t burn). Pour your jam into glass
bottles that have been washed in scalding water, and seal with the lid.
4.
Allow the jam to sit out for several hours until the jar is cool to the
touch, then refrigerate it.
