If you're not talking about jams and jellies... which adds sugar...

Why would canning fresh pears, peaches or other fruit be different for
diabetics?

Sugar is a preservative. Without sugar, canned fruits cannot be stored
at room temperature unless enough acid is added - which would change the
taste. The only other option is pressure canning, which cooks low acid
foods for preservation. Not good for fruits, they tend to turn to mush.

Freezing is a better option. Use vit C to prevent browning, and freeze
away.

Peaches and pears are not classified as low acid foods. They may be
safely canned in water using no added sugar and processed in a boiling
water bath and stored at room temperature.

Go to http://tinyurl.com/9buqq

This is a USDA publication on preserving fruit and fruit products.
It's in .pdf format and can be downloaded and saved.
It has the proper procedures for canning peaches, pears, etc in water
only, with no added sugar, which may be safely canned in a water bath
canner.
Granted, using some sugar does enhance the flavour of canned fruit.
However, if one uses a very light syrup (10%) and uses moderation when
partaking of the product one should be able to avoid a huge spike in
BG.
Good luck.

I canned applesauce and pears last year using a minimal amount (about 1/3 of
what would be used for an extra light syrup) of sugar. There is a newsgroup
for food preservation and there is at least one diabetic there who can help
you. I researched Splenda and while it can be used for canning, it doesn't
help preserve the color and texture of the fruit like sugar does. Everything
I canned worked well and people loved it!

Good question, but one I can't answer ;-(.
The only fruit we can with skin on is whole plums and they are
strictly for my wife. I'm not a big fan of plums to start with and I
can't stand the texture they end up with when canned.

I don't know about canning, but if you leave any of the skin on baked apples
it gets too tough to chew.

Hmmm, back in my pre-diabetic days, I used to bake apples and left the
skin on....don't recall that anything was too tough to chew. Wonder if
it makes a difference what type of apple?

Should you wish to have a sweeter taste, then put a pinch of stevia in or if liquid a couple of drops. Stevia is a natural sweetener that contains no sugar. It can be found in any natural food store.

I am a type 2 diabetic and my doc said it is fine for diabetics.

Below is an exerpt from the internet. Worth while read.



Stevia Helps Pancreas Release Insulin--Helpful for Diabetics
http://www.healthy.net/scr/Column.asp?Id=296


© Ray Sahelian M.D.




The natural sweetener stevioside, which is found in the plant stevia, has been used for many years in the treatment of diabetes among Indians in Paraguay and Brazil. However, the mechanism for the blood glucose-lowering effect remains unknown. A study conducted at the Department of Endocrinology and Metabolism, Aarhus University Hospital, Denmark, found that stevioside enhances insulin secretion from mouse pancreatic islets in the presence of glucose. The researchers state, "Stevioside stimulates insulin secretion via a direct action on pancreatic beta cells. The results indicate that the compounds may have a potential role as an anti-hyperglycemic agent in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus."

Ray Sahelian, M.D., co-author with Donna Gates of The Stevia Cookbook (Avery/Penguin, 1999), says, "Stevia is a wonderful alternative to sugar and artificial sweeteners for those who have diabetes. This study gives us one more reason to recommend diabetics take advantage of this safe, non-calorie herbal sweetener."

Reference: Jeppesen PB, et al. Stevioside acts directly on pancreatic beta cells to secrete insulin. Metabolism 2000 Feb;49(2):208-14. Website: www.raysahelian.com

Hope this helps.

Garry
