As you are probably well aware, sugar is a forbidden fruit in an endometriosis diet, as it is the perfect food for endometriosis cells to multiply. If you do want to eat a sweet, jam-like bread topping, it is up to you to prepare it following the principles of a healthy lifestyle. It's not complicated at all, and is the perfect alternative to store-bought jams full of sugar, stock enhancers and flavour boosters. Eating live jam can also be a good alternative for people with food allergies and dieters, as it is a very quick treat to make.
It also boasts creative properties, as it is extremely versatile. It's extremely healthy, with a rich vitamin, mineral and antioxidant content that is good for skin, hair and nails. I asked Gitta Lénárt, founder of the Raw Food Academy, to tell me how to make healthy jams at home.
Ingredients:
- 20 dkg dried fruit
- Water
Preparation:
Soak the dried fruit in enough water to just cover it. If you have chosen a larger fruit, such as dried apricots, cut it into smaller pieces.
When the fruit is soft (this takes about 1-2 hours), put it in a blender and blend until smooth. Use a little water at first and only add more liquid if you find it too thick!
It can be used in the same way as traditionally prepared jams, spread on bread, made into puddings, custards or creams.
Good advice from Gitta:
- only make as much as you will eat in 1 week
- preferably use prunes that are free of sugar, preservatives and other additives
- use organic, i.e. chemical-free dried fruit
- the best way to do this is to dry your own fruit in summer and make fresh jam from it
Enjoy your meal!
