Yes, I know that. I should have referred to it as "no sugar added". The
only thickener is unflavored gelatin. IIRC, the crumb mixture was made
from dry bread crumbs, cinnamon, and a small amount of artificial
sweetener. The pan was very lightly coated with diet margarine, then
dusted with the crumb mixture.

I am quite aware that the fruits and juice concentrate contain sugar. The
recipe is for a weight loss program, not a diabetic diet. It was once
published by Weight Watchers, and sugars contained in fruit are permitted.

So, do you have a recipe, or not? I wasn't asking for a critique.
