Since I've started eating healthier, I've been avoiding certain processed foods that contain an exorbitant amount of unnecessary sugars. Jam, unfortunately, is one of them.
I usually make soup once a week, and make a loaf of whole wheat bread in the bread maker to go with it. The past couple of mornings, I've been enjoying a slice of toast with peanut butter. This morning, however, I wanted to add a little bit of jam. Since I couldn't use the processed stuff in our fridge, I realized I should make my own. Here's how:
-pour a few berries into a shallow dish and defrost them in the microwave (If I hadn't been so impatient, I would have done this over the stove)
-Cook them for a few seconds once they are defrosted to heat them up (again, if you do them over the stove, they will defrost and heat at the same time)
-mix them around and mash them up so the consistency becomes more jam-like
**Optional**-add some agave nectar/honey/stevia/real maple syrup for desired sweetness (naturally)
-spread on toast
Enjoy!
Love,
Ashleigh
