Apple jam with fructose, prepared for diabetics, allows you not to harm the body with a sharp increase in blood sugar. There are a huge variety of cooking recipes, especially since fructose jam has become popular among healthy people.
Features of preparing apple jam for diabetics for the winter
To make jam, it is recommended to take small garden apples. Let's look at the features of making jam from ranetki.
Garden apples contain a large amount of pectin, which makes it possible to avoid the use of food thickeners. In order for the taste of the finished dish to be interesting and the appearance to be transparent, you will need to try hard.
- Before cooking, apples must be sorted and fruits that are not suitable for food should be discarded.
- Wash under running water.
- Place in a saucepan and cover with cold water.
- Leave it like this for 2-3 hours.
Afterwards, the apples are rinsed and simmered on the stove in their own juice. Only in this case can you get an amber-colored jam with an amazing taste. For variety, you can add vanilla and cinnamon to it.
Recipe Ingredients
You need to prepare:
- ranetki – 1.5 kg;
- fructose – 1 kg;
- water – 400-500 ml.
You can use any apples for cooking. They should be elastic, without dents. When using other types of fruits, you will additionally need to add pectin or agar-agar. The norm for the given quantity of products is 15 g.
Product selection and preparation
In stores and markets you can find several types of ranetki, among which green fruits predominate. Housewives try not to use them, since in most cases they remain tough during canning. But it's not a problem. Even unripe fruits are perfectly boiled in jam. The main thing is to follow the recipe.
You can also use sour varieties of apples for cooking. The prepared jam has a unique sourness, thereby emphasizing the taste of the preservation.
How to prepare the container?
It is equally important to properly prepare the container. To do this, glass containers need to be washed with soap and soda solution and placed on a baking sheet. Preheat the oven to a temperature of 100 degrees, place the containers with the contents there.Heat until completely dry. Rinse the lids first and boil for 10 minutes.
How to make jam without sugar?
Cooking a sweet dessert without sugar using fructose is easy and simple. Let's consider the actions:
- Wash the apples. If necessary, soak or cut off the skin and remove the seed box. If ranetki are used, then they are added whole to the jam, and other fruits need to be cut into small cubes.
- There is a certain condition for ranetkas - they must first be boiled in their own juice, and only then added to sweet syrup.
- Let's start preparing the sweet syrup. To do this, mix water and fructose in a thick-bottomed saucepan. Cook with regular stirring until completely dissolved.
- Add apples and cook on medium heat for no more than 7 minutes.
Why does it take such a short time to cook fruits in syrup? When heated for a long time, fructose changes its properties, so you should not cook jam for more than the specified time..
Pack into sterile jars. Twist.
Storage rules
For storage you need to choose a dark, cool place. The shelf life of an open jar of jam is up to 2 weeks. If sealed airtight, dessert for diabetics can be stored for up to 6 months.
