The jams are not no-carb by any means, but are ever so much better than
than the regular jams adn I can have a spoonful on a Wasa cracker as a
treat once or twice a week. I generlly make berry jams, as that is
what I
can get fresh grown (and sometimes cheaper) near my country home in
the
summer. I get the special pectin fo rno sugar aded jams and jellies
(made
from strained fruit juice, rather than whole fruit smashed up) Two
companies make little single use boxes here in the US, Ball and Mrs.
Wages. I don't know if these or simmilar products are available in
France, but the Ball company of Muncie Indiana should have a web site
and
you might be able to find out more fro them. 1 packet works with aobut
2
dry quarts of berries(straw, rasp,blue, black are the ones I get and
makes
about 4-6 8 ounce jars of jam(sometimes I use a bit more than the 2 qts
and add a little water). I simply follow the directions on the box.
You
can make either freezer jam or regular sterilized jam that can sit on
the
pantry shelf(what I do) Very important! once you open this jam and
add
your 4-5 packets of Splenda YOU MUST KEP THE JAR REFRIGERATED. It
molds
rather quickly as there is no added sugar to keep down the microbes.
Also, try to use a jar up in les that 2 weeks. If you like you could
make
it in smaller (4 oz) jars so you can help with this problem.
I hope this helps.

Thx, Wendy. I always 'fridge my jams when the jar has been opened.
But do you ever jam your fridges?
Sadly, I do.  )
Our current fridge is jammed with too much ice in the freezer ...
Unfortunately, there's till quite a bit of protein in there, so I can't
yet defrost ....
Ohh, for my pre-diabetes days ....
Thank goodness for frost free fridges
