Recipe Mayhem

Homemade jam is hard to beat, and it makes a perfect fat-free spread for your toast or muffin. It's also a terrific way to use up the abundance of fresh summer fruit that's available right now. My particular favorite is this easy strawberry freezer jam. This is a basic back-of-the-box recipe that admittedly calls for a good deal of sugar. If you want to limit your sugar intake in addition to your fat intake, you can buy pectins that require less sugar, or a sugar substitute.
