Default Neew Jam for Me

I recently saw Polaner's sugar-free apricot jam and bought it. It
contains 4 grams of carb per Tablespoon of which 3 are fiber(it has added
fiber) and is sweetened with sucralose, no sugar alcohols, and 10 calories
per tablespoonful. I found it very pleasant and will look for other
flavors in the future. I do make my own jams form berries when I canget
them, but this apricot looked like a good bet. I had some this morning
with a piece of low carb toast adn it was very god adn went nicely with
the poached eggs and my black coffee.

Sucralose works forme, unlike the sugar alohols, which really annoy my
gut.

Too bad, as Polaners is a good brand , generally. They were, I beleve,
the first to make the fruit-juice sweetened jams that were somewhat lower
carb adn calorie than the regular jams. Because of this, I read the label
of this new jam carefully to make sure it had no grape or other fruitjuice
in it .

I hope, for your sake , that it comes to the West coast so you can enjoy
it. Perhaps there might be a website, . Try Polaners.com adn see if
anything comes up.

On the rare (once a year or less) occasion I make coconut shrimp for DH,
I use Polaners apricot to make a dipping sauce by adding in some Dijon
mustard to taste.

I checked the Fairway today where I had gotten the original jar of the
sugar-free fiber Apricot jam and found thae only other flavor they had was
concord Grape, fine for kids with PB&J, but not to my taste. I don'tknow
if they will be putting out any more flavos or if the store will be
carrying any more.

as for the sucralose, Todd, I have been using it since it came out adn
like it. I am not a big user as I do not sweeten my coffee or tea or use
sweetener regularly. I am alsoan old bird. I might worry were I 10 years
old about these things, but at my age I am not worried. anyway, if it was
a failed insecticide, I guess it was not effective in killing anyting so
why worry?

I cannot live my life in total fear of all kinds of things as so many do.
I watchmy bgs adn A1cs, I take meds, Metformin and a small aunt of
glimperide anddon't worry that it will strike me dead. I don't use items
labelled "antibacterial" because I woudl like to preserve things for mfy
and your grandchildren. I wish they had not banned cyclamates as they
tasted very good adn they still have a lovely brown sugar substitute made
with them available in Canada that someone once sent me some of.
sometimes I wonder aboaut all the worries we add to our lives adn how much
these sories, themselves can shorten our lives adn the pleasure we have in
living. Aside form cats and some kind of hay fever pollens I don't seem
to be allergic or intolerant or whatever to much so don't worry there. I
take my diabetes seriously and have for the 30 years I have known I have
it, as that strikes me as sensible, as I like y remaining visiln, my legs,
my kidneys, etc adn would like to keep them workign for a long time. I am
punctillious bout seeign my eye doctor for AWMD treatments , as again, I
like havign my sight, but I just can't get excited about ll the scares
that keep coming along. I wouldn't walk into a radioactive area, have
unpprotected sex , wantder around the south side of Chicago, although for
reasons of my own, I love the city, but I refuse to hie from everything
adn have lived through some pretty difficult times in NYC my beloved home
city, but do not feal that everyone has a gun as I find to be the case in
some other parts of the country.

Well, now I have said all that inreply to Todd, who is a fine guy, but
kind of up-tight:-) Todd,keep on workign on your cooking and lettign us
know the results

My supermarkets (Stop and Shop and Shoprite) regularly carry Polaner and
Smuckers jams sweetened with Splenda. (Smuckers also has some
stevia-sweetened jams.) In addition, the Stop and SHop store brand also
has some Splenda-sweetened jams. I regularly get strawberry, peach,
apricot, seedless blackberry, raspberry, orange marmalade, and blueberry.

I have used the Smuckers, but don't find them great. This one, the
Apricot Polaners sugar-Free(as opposed to the fruit-juice spreads), has a
nice texture adn flavor wit a sense of havign fruit in it which the
smuckers seem to have fairly little of. As I said, I usually make my own
jam form , now , mostly blueberries as I don't get to the country erliy
enough to get the local strawberries and my wild raspberry and blackberry
bushes seem to have been displaced by assorted other weeds, so I can't
pick enough. The Smuckers is more like jelly than jam, without pieces of
fruit in them, shile mne are very fruity.

I found the Crofter's at PCC today and it was on sale but I didn't need any
since I just bought a case of something else from Wal-Mart.

You have it there but perhaps not all stores carry it. I think that I
bought it at Target.

It is sold in CA but perhaps not at the stores where she normally shops.
Central Market does carry the brand but for some reason, not the strawberry
and that's the only flavor that we eat.

Sounds like a good thing then, if it's true. Which it probably is not. If
it won't kill a bug then it is most certainly safe for a human.

I used to eat and thought that I liked the Smuckers. I never eat it
straight up on toast or anything like that. Just a smidge on a peanut
butter sandwich. Then I tried the Crofters all fruit and loved it. Could
not find the Crofters one day so went back to the Smuckers. Found that I
could not eat it at all. Just tasted artificial to me. The Crofters may
well contain fruit juice. Not sure. But since I only have a tiny dab that
matters very little.

OK, thanks. I'm sort of put off by the Splenda since it does leave an awful
aftertaste in my mouth. I usually use aspartame.

I used to like Smuckers when it was sweetened with Equal, but haven't had
any since I couldn't find it without Splenda after awhile.

I don't think that what I've bought had Splenda but lemme see... They have
changed the products since I bought them. What I tried didn't have the
added fiber. I ate the kind sweetened with fruit juice. But again, I
probably only ate a teaspoon at a time. I don't like sweet things much. I
just wanted something to lessen the stickiness of my peanut butter.

Splenda is iffy for me. Could not stand 7Up after they put it in there. I
do use it maybe once a year in cooking or baking but am more likely to do
the brown sugar/Splenda blend.

You bought the fruit spread which is a totally different product in a jar
that looks quite different. I believe this no sugar added, fiber one is
fairly new to the market.

I don't care if his porpoise is on or off. I was just trying
to make a joke out of it. I guess it didn't work. Sorry.

certainly, not for diabetics. /wht's your point?

I think her point is that the Polaner's brand is carried in CA. At least
that's the way I took it.

It's not sweetened with sugar but juice. And even if it were sweetened with
sugar, I eat so little of it, it wouldn't matter to me.

It is better to speak up an let everyone know you are
an idiot than to stay silent and let everyone be bored.

I'm sure my spelling is worse than yours. I am lost
without the spell checker in my news reader.

Julie, Julie, Julie. Whether you buy my theory about fructose
or not; if you want to avoid sugar, you must stay away from
juice. Typical juice sweeteners are apple juice and grape
juice. Both are high sugar and fructose. That is why they
are so sweet.

Personally I've taken to avoiding anything that is sweet. That
includes artificial sweeteners of any kind. Have never tried
stevia. I do use a little dextrose, supposed to be pure glucose.

BTW there is candy sweetened with dextrose. It is called pixie
sticks. If you can't stand the taste of diabetic wafers, you
could try that the next time you have a hypo.

I recently saw Polaner's sugar-free apricot jam and bought it. It
contains 4 grams of carb per Tablespoon of which 3 are fiber(it has added
fiber) and is sweetened with sucralose, no sugar alcohols, and 10 calories
per tablespoonful. I found it very pleasant and will look for other
flavors in the future. I do make my own jams form berries when I canget
them, but this apricot looked like a good bet. I had some this morning
with a piece of low carb toast adn it was very god adn went nicely with
the poached eggs and my black coffee.

Sucralose works forme, unlike the sugar alohols, which really annoy my
gut.

I don't want to avoid sugar per se. However, I prefer the taste of a fruit
product that is not sweetened with HFCS or the white granular stuff. Those
just taste too sweet to me.

Can you name a juice product that does not taste too sweet? I
can't find any.

Both are OK, but hard to endure without some sweetener.
Now that I think of it I have an alternative sports drink
recipe that uses fresh cranberries instead of lime juice.
I use dextrose for sweetener, but I think I am having problems
from the 1-1/2 tablespoons. I buy it from a health food store,
and the purity is questionable. I think I will order some
reagent grade glucose from chemical supply company. Then I
can tell for sure whether the problem is fructose contamination
or just too much glucose.

I don't like grapefruit though. Too bitter. I will eat
it if that is all I have.

I have never seen any packaged products that did not have
sweetener usually HFCS, but sometimes grape or apple juice.
Do you use artificially sweetened products? Which ones?

I love the flavor of unsweetened grapefruit adn grapefruit juice. that is
how my Mother alwasy served it and I learned to love it. we have a cute
tiny video of my then 1 1/2 year old granddaughter(now just past 2) being
given part of a half grpaefruit to see if whe would like it. They
expected her to reject it, but instead , she stucck her whole head inside
the have grapefruit to guzzle it all down! I guess the taste for it runs
in the family.

I don't drink regular juice unless I have to. I don't like it. I do drink
the juice from a grapefruit if I am eating one, which is rarely. I do like
them. I just don't eat much fruit ever. I drink the diet cranberry. I'm
sure it has a sweetener but not sure what. I also drink tons of Diet Coke
with Lime.

It is possible I would like unsweetened grapefruit, but they
are so large I would never buy one for myself. We had lots
of grapefruit when I was young, but my family would not let
me eat anything that wasn't smothered in sugar or syrup.
Except for meat and potatoes.

My biological father wrote a letter suggesting that I would
like string beans. I remember my mother complaining bitterly
that Germans always lied.

"No matter how much sugar I put on them, you
*never* eat string beans."

Regular juice products are poison for me. I like the taste of
fruit, but it seems to cause BG problems that last for weeks.
It's an Igg allergy. I think I have decoded the technical
stuff on the immune system to see how this could happen.
These are acquired allergies that fade if I don't eat fruit
for a while, but they come back if I eat some particular
fruit regularly for a few weeks. I've ordered another ELISA
test to see how my allergies have changed in the last two
years.

Now that I have bread that I can eat, I can also use the orange
marmalade that I made a few months ago. No sugar, just oranges
run through the blender and pressure cooked for half an hour.
The next time you have trouble with bread, you might want to
try the San Luis sourdough. It's baked in Seattle, and it is
the only bread I can eat. I am sure it must be distributed
out where you are. Maybe not in all markets though.

Diet drinks don't affect BG too much, but I think they may
affect my appetite. I can drink one once in a while, but
I have been learning to order bottled water instead of
soft drinks, beer or wine. I feel much better that way.
On the one hand it seems like a waste of money, but on
the other hand it is better than drinking something that
affects me negatively.

Have you ever tried sprinkling just a small amount of sweetNlow on the
grapefruit? If eating a halved piece less than 1 packet per half.

I find it just the right amount of sweetness and no bitter taste or
after taste. Just make sure it is dissolved on top of the fruit, no
dry clumps.
