Strawberry Low Sugar Freezer Jam
We have the short window of summer here in the northwest to enjoy fresh local strawberries, and should all indulge accordingly! Get yourself to a fresh market (or a "Spooner's" Stand, highly recommended!) and get the GOOD ones if you don't grow your own ....(yet?)
2 1/2 cups crushed or finely chopped (FRESH) strawberries! … Go Now !
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup Alternate Sweetener
2/3 cup orange juice
splash of lemon juice

2/3 cup water
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup Alternate Sweetener
2/3 cup orange juice
splash of lemon juice
1 package Ball Fruit Jell No Sugar Needed Pectin
2/3 cup water
Clean well and then proceed to crush or chop strawberries using a potato masher or some such method, just not with a food processor.
Add sugar, Alternate Sweetener, orange juice, and a splash of lemon juice. Stir thoroughly for one minute. Let this mixture sit for 10 minutes.
In saucepan, whisk the powdered pectin into water.
Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, and boil while stirring for a full minute., until it forms a thick white sauce.
Pour pectin into a large bowl. Stir in strawberry mixture, and continue stirring for at least 3 minutes.
Ladle into your chosen jars. We used Kerr jam jars and lids. Refrigerate for at least 24 hours. Keep one jar for immediate use (Below Recipe = yum!!!) and freeze the rest.

- Sieve flour with baking powder and cooking soda for 3 times in order to very evenly disperse. Put the seived flour in a bowl and make a dent in the middle. Pour milk, curd, salt,and sugar into the dent.
- Mix well, after a minute, gathering the flour with your finger without kneading too hard. Keep aside covered for 2-3 hours. (and up to 8 hours) Knead the dough softly when ready to prepare and make even sized balls
- Cover the rolling platform generously with flour to roll it in and pull one edge to make a tear shape. Apply water on top of naan and turn over it to the hot pan so that the water applied part sticks to the pan.
- Cook covered on medium flame and after a minute if u open to see it has puffed up. Turn the pan upside down and cook the other side on direct flame till the other side becomes light golden in color. cooking in direct flame sure gives a good finish to the naan. Apply butter/ghee over both sides and eat!
