How To Make Stevia Jam: Easy And Healthy

Healthy food is a necessity that can become a concern. However, there are different alternatives for eating delicious foods without being harmful. Next, we’ll see how to make stevia jam in an easy and very healthy way.

Stevia and its properties

Jelly is one of the most fearful sweet treats, because the excess sugar ends up being very harmful to health. However, if we minimize this risk with natural products, such as stevia, for example, we will enjoy a tasty and healthy drink or snack.

Stevia is a natural sweetener of plant origin. It’s sweeter than sugar, but it doesn’t increase blood insulin, which lowers the risk of diabetes. Furthermore, the low amount of calories it contains minimizes the chances of weight changes such as obesity.

Recommendations for making jam with stevia

Being a natural product, without additives, it is necessary to take into account some considerations. For example, stevia only sweetens but does not gelatinize, so the solution can be to incorporate gelatine or sugar-free pectin.

• A small amount of lemon juice will help preserve this jam. However, once prepared, it should be consumed within a maximum of seven days.
• Another recommendation is not to crush the fruit too much, as the desired consistency will be lost. Therefore, the ideal is to mash with a fork or pass the fruit through a blender, but not too much.
