FAQ
1. Can I use a different sweetener instead of sugar?
Yes! This recipe doesn't require any added sugar, but if you prefer a sweeter jam, you can use natural sweeteners like stevia, honey, or maple syrup in small amounts. Just be sure to adjust the flavor as needed.
2. Can I make this recipe with other fruits?
Absolutely! You can replace the oranges with other citrus fruits like lemons, or even try a combination of fruits, such as apples, pears, or berries, to experiment with new flavors.
3. Is the jam safe for children?
Yes, this jam is entirely safe for children as it doesn't contain any artificial sugars or preservatives. However, if you're concerned about allergies or sensitivities, check the ingredient list before serving.
4. How do I know when the jam is ready?
The jam is ready when it reaches a thick, spreadable consistency. You can do the "plate test" by placing a small spoonful on a chilled plate and running your finger through it—if it wrinkles and doesn't run, the jam is done.
This sugar-free, homemade jam is a great way to indulge in a healthy and flavorful treat while avoiding processed sugars. Enjoy experimenting with different fruits and flavors!
