My husband has recently been diagnosed with diabetes and his sugar levels over 500, so we have been
looking for nothing but healthy recipes. This is one for jelly that he just made last night and it is REALLY
good, doesn't taste sugar free, but is totally sugar free! Enjoy!

Sugar Free Strawberry Jam Recipe - Food.com - 87549[h=1]Sugar Free Strawberry Jam[/h] By 89240 on March 27, 2004

  • Total Time: 20 mins
  • Servings: 18

[h=2]About This Recipe[/h] "After spending too much money on store bought sugar free jams, I was given this recipe by a friend. It tastes better than most you find in the store, and is much cheaper. I use granular splenda, and don't measure it, I just add until it tastes sweet enough."

[h=2]Ingredients[/h]
    • 16 ounces frozen strawberries
    • 1 1/2 teaspoons plain gelatin
    • 2 tablespoons cold water
    • 6 -10 packets Splenda sugar substitute ( or equivalent in granular form)
    • 1 -2 tablespoon water, if needed

[h=2]Directions[/h]
  1. Thaw strawberries.
  2. In a bowl, soften gelatin in 2 tablespoons cold water.
  3. If your strawberries are whole, crush them, or chop into small pieces.
  4. Place strawberries into a heavy sauce pan, along with any any juices.
  5. If they don't have much juice from thawing, add 1-2 tablespoons water.
  6. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until strawberry pieces are softened.
  7. Stir in softened gelatin until completely dissoved.
  8. Remove from heat and stir in Splenda.
  9. Chill well before serving.
  10. Note: do not add too much water along with the strawberries, they will probably release enough moisture while heating.

Healthy Eggplant Paremesan



Ingredients
1 eggplant
3 tomato
1/2 onion
1 can(s) tomato sauce
1 pkg mushroom pieces
1 bunch spinach
parmesan cheese
mozzarella cheese
1 bunch basil
4 clove garlic
salt
olive oil, extra virgin
cayenne pepper


Directions
1 Preheat oven on BROIL to 350 degrees F. Place foil over baking sheet and oil lightly.

2 Wash and cut eggplant into 1-inch thick rounds. Place flat side of each round on baking sheet. Cut onion into thin slices and peel garlic. Slice or press garlic. Cut basil into ribbons.

3 Sprinkle salt (just a little bit) over the eggplant rounds. This will take away some of the bitterness of the eggplant. Place baking sheet in oven. At 5 minutes check for tenderness (they may be golden). If tender/golden flip each round over, repeat salt sprinkle and place in oven for another 5 minutes.

4 While the eggplant cooks for the 2nd 5 minutes, cut tomato into thick slices. Check eggplant for tenderness again and place one tomato slice on top of each eggplant round. Place in oven for another 5 minutes.

5 Heat olive oil in pot and add garlic. Saute for about 30 seconds and add onion. Keep stirring until onion is lightly browned. Add mushroom. Once mushrooms are cooked down, add spinach. The moisture from the spinach will give you time to leave the skillet and remove the baking sheet from the oven. Tomatoes should be lightly browned.

6 Add sauce to pot and stir until heated all the way through. Add cayenne pepper and crushed red pepper to taste. Pour sauce and vegetables over eggplant and tomatoes - covering completely.

7 Add basil ribbons to the top and put back into oven for 3 minutes. Add cheese to top and cook for 2 more minutes.

8 Serve over pasta or alone and enjoy!

Nut-Free Broccoli Pesto Pasta




INGREDIENTS

4 cups chopped broccoli (about 1 large head)
1 garlic clove
4-6 large basil leaves
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 cup water
1/4 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
1 pound cooked pasta

DIRECTIONS
  1. Fill a large stock pot with water and place over medium-high heat for boiling the pasta. While waiting for it to bubble, invite your child to help break or cut apart the head of broccoli with a butter knife and place in a large saucepan.
  2. Chop the garlic and add to the saucepan with the broccoli. Add enough water to cover the bottom of the pan, cover, and place over medium heat until the broccoli is fork tender.
  3. Once steamed, strain the broccoli and place in a blender along with the basil leaves, salt, olive oil, and water. Invite your child to help press the buttons to pulse the pesto together. If needed, add an additional tablespoon of water to thin the sauce. This step can also be done with a hand blender.
  4. Place the blended broccoli in a large bowl, add the lemon, and then stir in the Parmesan cheese. Taste the sauce for seasoning and add to your family's taste. Squeeze in more lemon, add a dash of pepper, or sprinkle with a pinch of chopped basil.
  5. Once the pasta is cooked to your liking, strain and add to the pesto. Stir and then serve with an additional drizzle of olive oil.
Makes six large servings.
