Quick Strawberry Jam

OK so this recipe is definitely not from the GI Diet cookbook but I thought I would share it anyways. I have been feeling like a home body lately and into experimenting in the kitchen and I decided I wanted to learn how to make jam. I was browsing through some old magazines and I came across this recipe for "Quick Strawberry Jam" . This is not jam in the traditional sense but if you want to whip up a tasty treat it will do the trick.

This recipe has a lot of SUGAR! so be warned. The next time I make it I am going to experiment a little more and cut the sugar in half and then try it without any sugar at all. After all fruit is usually sweet enough on its own so it may work out. Although sugar sometimes adds to the texture of the finished product. I will let you know once I polish off this jar by having it on my toast every morning. So much for completely getting back on the GI Diet

SERVED WITH: Toast and tea

COOKING TIPS: If you don't mind using Splenda or another sugar substitute I am sure you can make this jam a sugar free treat. This jam is quick and easy to make.

RATING: 7. It is a little to sweet for my liking.
