I have a passion for jam, I don't know why, its just one of those things that I really love. However all that fruit and sugar is just sooooooo calorific that it is banned from my house. I'm following the Weight Watchers diet at the moment you may have heard that they have totally changed the points system round and introduced ProPoints. I'm quite excited about propoints they seem to have some "science" behind them and have taken into account how the body processes food. One big positive is that fruit is now free - I used to hate having to point an apple! Pointless when you could have a bag of crisps for the same amount!
Anyway back to the jam. Imagine my excitement when I found a post in the WW forum about 0pp jam! I had to have a go. I went to the shop last night and got all the bits. Here is how to do it.
Stuff you need
 |
| 1 box of frozen fruit |
1 sachet of sugar free jelly. I used the Hartleys one in strawberry.
Pan
Wooden spoon
Clean jam jar, or even a a plastic container will do.
1. First put the fruit in a pan and warm on a low heat until it is starting to lose shape.
2. Then mash the fruit using a potato masher. Nb. My jam has lots of "bits" in it from the seeds. I don't mind this at all, the fibre is good for you but if you hate bits then I think it would be fine to sieve the mixture at this point.

3. Leave the mix to cool a bit then add a sachet of sugar free jelly and mix well.
4. Pour the mix into a jar and place into the fridge to set. It might be advisable to leave the mix to cool if you have a glass jar.
5. Leave in the fridge overnight or for a few hours to set.

I think this jam would be free on Slimming World too, 0 syns people! If you are calorie counting then the fruit has 165cal, and a sachet of jelly 32 so for the whole pot just 197 cals. Amazing!
