Equipment
- Blender
- Storage Jar
Ingredients you need
- 120 g Frozen berries
- 60 g Dried Dates or other natural sweeteners such as honey and agave syrup
- 50 ml Water
- 10 g Agar Agar Powder
Extra
- Boiling Water
Directions
- Melt the frozen berries in a suitable pot over medium heat until the berries thawed completely. Let the fruits cool down a little.
- To ease the blending process, cut the dried dates into tiny chunks. Dried dates act as natural sweeteners in this case. You can use other natural sweeteners such as honey, agave syrup as well.
- Transfer fruits, dates and water into a blender. Mix the ingredients until it is smooth and without chunks. Due to the small amount of homemade jam, I would not recommend using a hand blender to blend the ingredients. This is because the ingredients will not mix well enough.
- After which, pour the mixture back into the pot and bring to boil. Thereafter, add in the agar-agar powder.
- Pour boiling water into a suitable jar and put the lid on. Thereafter, turn the jar over to sterilize the jar for about 5 minutes. Be careful because the jar is very hot, so make sure you wear a pair of oven gloves to protect yourself. Pour the water away.
- Transfer the homemade jam into the storage jar, cover the lid and let the jam cool down.
- Serve the sugar-free homemade fruit jam with your favourite bread or bread rolls. This homemade jam can be enjoyed by kids and adults. If your baby is ready for solids, you can let him try this jam as well. Please consult your doctor beforehand or just observe the development of your baby.
