SF strawberry jam

dazygyrl · 06-10-2011, 04:14 PM

i have this recipe i want to try.

2T lemon juice
2T water
1 env. unflavored gelatin
1 1/2 tsp cornstarch
2c strawberries
1c sugar sub

i was thinking of subbing the cornstarch with xantham gum. how much x. gum would be the same as the cornstarch?

thanks!

The strawberries would probably release enough pectin when cooking to not need a thickener, if you were just going to refrigerate this.

cool. i'm gonna go try it. need to use whole frozen ones tho.

also, can i just whirl the strawberries in a blender before cooking them? i don't really care that much for chunky jam.

I've made jam on the stove with just the strawberries, xanthan and the sweetener. I can't share the link to the recipe, but if you google "raspberry dessert topping your lighter side" you'll be able to see the recipe and others like it. I keep the fruit refrigerated and never have problems with it. I haven't tried freezing it yet, however, as a freezer jam.

They will break down nicely as they cook

this turned out sooo good!

for sweetener i used 1/2 c xylitol, 1 packet of wild strawberry crystal light, and 12 drops ezsweets (out of the bigger bottle, so equivalent to 1/4c).

i just now made a strawberry vinaigrette with this. 2 T of the jam, 1 T raw apple cider vinegar, water. soooo yummy!
