Hi Ryoko,

My favourite treat is a Rowntree's sugar free jelly with a nice desert spoonfull of extra thuck double cream ....... yum. :thumbup: :thumbup:
 
Hey bernie.freeman,

I'm just looking to hopefully start selling jams an sweets to people who find it very hard to find such things. i don't know how many i will be getting in an i don't know how much i would sell them for but if enough people are wanting to buy from me then with my boyfriends business intuition i am hoping to start up a little business.
 
Hi, Ryoko :)

Best of luck with your venture, there is a lot of diabetic goodies out there. However their ingredients may not be exactly as good as is stated.

Presentation quality and honesty without doggy additives will be your success.

Best of luck.

Roy. :)
 
My favourite spread is St. Dalfour, made in France. Typically 50g fruit per 100g. There's a good range of flavours of jam and marmalade in our local supermarket. I've seen this product all over Asia. Refrigerate after opening, and of course use in moderation.

I always avoid diabetic anything and honestly think it should be banned.

You'll find making sugar-free jam a challenge, because there will always be people who are intolerant/allergic to pectin, arrowroot, xanthan gum, gelatin and just about anything else that thickens.

I have a pint of Hartleys sugar free blackcurrent jelly setting in my fridge right now, its so sweet I keep feeling it shouldn't be allowed in diets :P

Stay away from Diabetic foods. They are very fattening and usually have sorbitol on them, which is a laxative if eaten in vast quantities.
My diabetic clinic told me, a little of the normal jams etc will do you no harm. :D

I agree. Of course it won't do any harm, just a temporary spike which is normal anyway. It's persistent highs (high bGs sustained over a period) that are to be avoided. With my 'little and often' regime I spike about 5-6 times a day but my average bG is currently 5.7 (my HbA1C turned out to be 0.2 above my own calculation when I last had my blood test which is close enough for me).
