How to Prepare Sugar-Free Mandarin Jam: Simple, Tasty, and Nutritious
Mandarin jam is a delicious way to enjoy the natural sweetness of this citrus fruit, and making it without added sugar enhances its nutritional benefits. Here’s a step-by-step guide to prepare a healthy, flavorful jam using just a few simple ingredients.
Ingredients:
1 kg (2.2 lbs) fresh mandarins (about 10–12 mandarins)
1 medium apple (for natural pectin)
2–3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Optional: A natural sweetener like stevia or erythritol (if desired, to adjust sweetness)
Directions:
1. Prepare the Fruit
Wash the mandarins thoroughly to remove any residue.
Peel the mandarins, remove as much white pith as possible, and separate them into segments. Remove any seeds.
Wash and core the apple, leaving the skin on (it contains pectin, which helps the jam set). Dice it into small pieces.
2. Cook the Fruit
