Three Recipes For Sugar Free Homemade Jelly Food

SUGAR FREE JAM - BERRY CHIA

Steps:

• Choose your berries. If using strawberries, chop about 12 large berries to use for the jam.
• Add 3 cups of berries to a sauce pot over medium high heat. Allow berries to cook for about 5 minutes, occasionally mashing with a spoon or potato masher.
• After 5 minutes, reduce heat to simmer and add lemon juice, chia seeds, and cinnamon + maple syrup if you are using.
• Continue to simmer jam for an additional 5 minutes, mashing with a spoon and stirring occasionally. Jam will begin to thicken on its own as it simmers.
• Once the final 5 minutes have passed, remove jam from heat and allow it to cool slightly before spooning into air tight, heat proof containers.

KETO SUGAR FREE JELLO RECIPE

Steps:

• Combine 1/2 cup (118 ml) water and strawberries in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring and mashing as berries soften.
• Reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer for 8-10 minutes, until berries are fall-apart soft. Mash with the back of a spoon.
• Meanwhile, pour 1/2 cup (118 ml) water into a small bowl. Sprinkle the gelatin powder into the bowl and whisk immediately before it sets. Set aside to bloom for at least 5 minutes.
• Place a fine mesh sieve over a bowl. (If you want super clear jello, line it with a jelly bag or nut milk bag.) When the berries are very soft, pour the berry mixture over the sieve. Press with a spoon or spatula to push the juice into the bowl. Measure out as much juice as you can to use for the jello (up to 3 cups but it will likely be less). Add more water to to the juice to reach 3 cups liquid total.
• Wipe down the saucepan and pour juice back into the saucepan over medium heat. Add Besti and stir to dissolve. Taste and adjust sweetener to taste if needed.
• Reduce heat to low. Stir in the bloomed gelatin and heat, stirring, for about 2 minutes, until gelatin dissolves.
• Line an 8x8 pan with parchment paper, with the paper hanging over the sides. Pour the strawberry liquid into the pan.
• Refrigerate for at least 4-6 hours, or overnight, until set.
• Remove the jello from the pan using the edges of the parchment paper. Slice into 1 inch squares.

SUGAR FREE JALAPENO JELLY WITH TRUVIA

Steps:

• Wash and sterilize 12 - 8oz. canning jars. The 12 lids (not the 12 rings) should be place in a pan of water and brought to a simmer, not boiled and then removed from heat. I try to have jars and lids hot and ready at the same time as the jelly.
• Make sure you wear disposable rubber gloves to prepare the jalapenos. Rinse jalapenos, cut off stems, cut in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and ribs. I seed the jalapenos under water in a large bowl of cold water to keep the peppers from spraying on my skin or in my eyes. I chopped the jalapeno peppers and the bell peppers in a food processor a few at a time. (Some like to chop the entire jalapeno including the seeds, to make it hotter, but I find the seeds do not chop very well. If you don't mind the seeds this is a much simpler way to make it hotter and to prepare the jalapenos.).
• Optional method if you like hotter spicier jelly and don't want seeds in the jelly; try this method: Place all the seeds and ribs from the jalapenos in the pan you will be making the jelly inches Add the cider vinegar, cover and simmer for about 30 minutes, strain the vinegar to use for the jelly and discarded the seeds and ribs. I prefer not so spicy, but my husbands loves it and I'm always trying to find ways to make it spicier (I even used a few habenero peppers in a batch) !
• In a large pan, add finely chopped jalapenos, finely chopped red, green and/or yellow peppers (remember bell peppers are optional. I like them because they add color and tone down the spiciness), and cider vinegar. Bring to a simmer, add food coloring (opt) and stir in 2 pkgs. Sure-Jell (VERY IMPORTANT to use the "No sugar needed" style, in the pink box) to the peppers. Turn heat to med/high and bring to a full rolling boil (a boil you can not stir down) and boil exactly one minute. Remove from heat and stir in Truvia Sweetener.
• Use a ladle and fill hot sterilized jars with hot jelly, make sure to leave about ½" of air space for better sealing. Wipe top of rim with clean damp towel to remove any drips. Place hot lid on top and screw ring on snugly, but not real tight. You want to allow air to escape for better sealing.
• Fill a canning kettle or large pot (with bottom rack) with water, and bring water to a boil. Gently lower jars into water. Water should cover jars by at least 1". Bring water to a full boil. Reduce heat to a gentle boil, cover, and process for 5 minutes. When processed, carefully remove jars from water using tongs or a jar-lifter. Place upside-down on a rack or thick towels, and let cool without moving for 12-24 hours. Jars will make popping sounds while cooling if sealed. Remove ring, wipe jars with a clean damp towel, put ring back on and store in your pantry until ready to use.
• To check the seal just press down on lid, if you are able to push it and the lid flexes it is not sealed but will keep well in the in refrigerator until ready to use.
• To serve, stir to soften, pour over an 8 oz softened block of cream cheese, add a knife and let guests spread on assorted crackers. Or gently mix jelly and cream cheese until coarsely mixed and serve as a dip or spread.
• Make a great glaze on fish, chicken or pork!
• Great PB & JJ sandwich (peanut butter and Jalapeno Jelly) !
