Blackcurrant jam for diabetics
Description
For healthy people, eating half a jar of jam in one sitting is quite normal, but for people with diabetes, such an amount can be very dangerous. Fortunately, there are now quite a few different sugar substitutes that let people with diabetes cook and enjoy their favorite dishes. And since the preserving season will start very soon, I suggest a recipe for currant jam for diabetics. In it we add fructose to the berries instead of sugar; it is absorbed very well with practically no need for insulin. Although that does not mean diabetics can eat this jam by the jarful, they can still allow themselves a couple of spoonfuls of this wonderfully fragrant treat a day. So there is no need to deny yourself this pleasure—now you know how to can currant jam for diabetics. 1) First, sort through the berries carefully and rinse them under cold water. 2) Once the berries are ready, make the syrup. Mix water and fructose, put the saucepan with this mixture on the heat, and warm it until the fructose crystals have completely dissolved. 3) Add the currants to the syrup, bring the mixture back to a boil, and cook the jam over low heat for no more than 7 minutes. 4) Spoon the hot jam into sterilized jars and seal them with lids. That is an interesting and very simple recipe for currant jam for diabetics—I hope you like it. The jars keep for up to a year in a cool place.
