Tropical All-Fruit Spread
Replace traditional jam making methods that use large amounts of sugar and cook
the freshness from fruit with an all-fruit spread. Select a fruit pectin that
makes "light" jam and uses little or no sugar. Fruit pectin, available in
supermarkets, makes an all-fruit spread that cooks in minutes, sets up in 24
hours, and stores in the refrigerator. Rather than sweeten the all-fruit spread
during preparation, add honey to the finished product for those who prefer a
sweeter taste.
This modern jam method works well with mango, pineapple, papaya, lychee, and
sapodilla. Add lime or lemon zest and a cinnamon stick for an attractive, fresh,
and wholesome gift.
