Sugar-Free Jam with Stevia

 

Previously posted to a Stevia list; notations are by original recipe poster:

Here's a jam recipe that I use all the time, and it tastes great. My

favorites are peach, banana, raspberry, and apple jam.

 

1 3/4 ounce packet no-sugar-needed pectin

3/4 -1 cup cold water

2 1/2-3 cups of prepared fruit - fresh or frozen (raspberries, strawberries,

blueberries, apples/applesauce, bananas, peaches, pears, etc.)

1/2 Tbsp. Steviva stevia (if you use a different brand, you'll have to use

more because it will be cut with maltodextrin)

Spices according to taste: Cinammon, Ground Cloves, Ground Ginger, Nutmeg,

Cardamom, Vanilla Extract (in banana jam) or Almond Extract (great in peach

jam)

 

1. Peel, chop or mash fruit according to desired consistency (preferably

with a food processor, or by hand).

 

2. In small saucepan, combine pectin and water. Over medium heat, bring to

a boil and boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add to mashed fruit and

stir for 1 minute. Add Stevia and spices and stir for 2 more minutes.

 

3. Fill jars to 1/2 inch from the top. Seal and let stand until they reach

room temperature. Refrigerate until chilled, or place jam in freezer.

 

You can even combine two different types of jam to make strawberry-banana,

peach-apple, etc.

 

Enjoy!
