About This Recipe
"After spending too much money on store bought sugar free jams, I was given this recipe by a friend. It tastes better than most you find in the store, and is much cheaper. I use granular splenda, and don't measure it, I just add until it tastes sweet enough."
Ingredients
16 ounces frozen strawberries
1 1/2 teaspoons plain gelatin
2 tablespoons cold water
6 -10 packets Splenda sugar substitute ( or equivalent in granular form)
1 -2 tablespoon water, if needed
Directions
Thaw strawberries.
In a bowl, soften gelatin in 2 tablespoons cold water.
If your strawberries are whole, crush them, or chop into small pieces.
Place strawberries into a heavy sauce pan, along with any any juices.
If they don't have much juice from thawing, add 1-2 tablespoons water.
Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until strawberry pieces are softened.
Stir in softened gelatin until completely dissoved.
Remove from heat and stir in Splenda.
Chill well before serving.
Note: do not add too much water along with the strawberries, they will probably release enough moisture while heating.
