Dear All,
First of all, I am new to this site and I am not a Diabetic. And I am glad I have found what looks to me like a very useful and helpful site!
I am planning on making Jams as Christmas presents for a few friends, one of whom is a Diabetic. I have always used natural sugar for all my past Jam making. So this year I plan to make all my Jams Diabetic Jams.
I had planned on using Fructose, but have since found (from this site), this not a good alternative to replace sugar, and therefore not good for Diabetics.
I have recently heard about XYLITOL which apparently has no after taste and can be used by Diabetics.
Can anyone confirm that this is indeed the case? Can it also be used for Diabetic Jam making?
Also is CERTO liquid pectin safe to use for Diabetic Jam making?
I would like to ensure my Diabetic friend can enjoy my Jam and stay safe and healthy.
I look forward to any advice on this.
Many thanks!
