Of course, sugar-free jam is not jam at all. But our grandmothers also used this recipe to reduce sugar in winter preparations. They did it to save money, and we can try to save the figure!
August is an ideal time for active media work. Sugar is becoming the most popular product in stores, as only a few boxes of jam require at least one kilogram of sweetener. And if you need to cook jam from sour berries and bitter fruits (such as plums, currants, cherry plums), the sugar intake only increases.
In Soviet times, in order for jam to cook faster and berries to require less sugar, experienced housewives added soda to the recipe. A little – literally a quarter of a teaspoon per kilogram of berries or fruits.
In the case of jam, soda can partially neutralize the acidity and the amount of added sugar can be reduced. And soda helps to soften the dense skin of fruits: for example, when it comes to apples or citrus jam.
