Oooooo!
I bet you're all excited to find the
NEWEST !
FAB-EST !
Substitute for sugar because your doctor told you, you can't have sugar anymore!!!
Right??
Well.......
SORRY!
I just wanted to let everyone know what a great sugar sub jelly and jam is!
I discovered this in a moment of desperation in the middle of cooking one evening. I was gonna try to take a shortcut but my cheffy-senses just wouldn't let me be! I needed a SAUCE and I needed a good one.
So I chopped up some crystallized ginger, that I had used only a bit of for air sickness, and then proceeded to go thru the fridge for something else that tasted right in this sauce.
Pears.
Of course!
And..... grape jelly???
Yes!
All I needed was the SUGAR in the jelly, not the grapes. So I separated them.
(don't be ridiculous..... I'm a freestyle recipeanist, not a chemist!)
No but really, you can't taste the grape for the sugar. You only taste the grape in grape jelly when you want to, like if you know you're eating a PB&J....
So it worked great! Candied ginger, dash of ACV, dash of soy sauce, finely chopped pear, and grape jelly!
Simmered over low heat until a little bubbly.....
BAM - Sweet & sour.
Great sauce for Asian food.... Such as egg rolls. Which is what I needed sauce for.
YUM!
Jellies and jams incorporate well into just about anything that needs a sweet spot.
It also enhances a fruit flavor or actual fruit you may already be using, rather than just plain ole sugar.
But mostly, it's just handy to know when you're caught out there in a pinch like I was!
