Pear and apple sugar-free jam

On many occasions you have suggested that we do more diabetic recipes and, after a long time, here is one of my first tests. It is a sugar-free pear and apple jam.

The diabetic diet is not as simple as substituting one ingredient for another. From what I have read it is based on the glycemic index (GI) of food. That is, a system to measure or quantify the glycemic response of a food that contains the same amount of carbohydrates as a reference food. The fact is that this pear and apple sugar-free jam has a low GI which is perfect not only for diabetics also for those who are on a diet.

As it does not contain sugar, it cannot be kept out of the fridge, even if it was vacuum packed, because it does not contain any preservatives and it would quickly go bad. So the best is keep it in the fridge and consume it little by little.

A dessert spoon of this unsweetened pear and apple jam he's only 16 Calories. So we can use to add to yogurts, curds or take it alone as if it were a compote. Although for me it is best to take it in the morning on a slice of toast ... delicious!

A jam with seasonal fruit and no sugar.

• Mayra Fernandez Joglar

• Recipe type: jams
• Calories: 108 in 100 g
• Rations: 400g

• Cooking time: 1H
• Total time: 1H

Ingredients

• 350 g ripe pear pulp
• 350 g of ripe apple oulpa
• 110 g pear juice
• 15 g agave syrup
• 1 teaspoon (coffee size) homemade vanilla paste (see recipe here)

Preparation

1. We wash, peel and core the pears and apples. We put the indicated amounts in the glass. Add the pear juice, the agave syrup and the vanilla paste. We program 60 minutes, 100º, speed 2. During the process check that the jam does not run out of liquid.

2. If we want a thicker jam, we can extend the cooking for 10 more minutes. Although what I do is filter it with a muslin, so the pulp is separated from the juice that remains and I get a firm paste.

3. We keep the jam in jars and reserve in the fridge.
