WELCOME TO DIABETIC ENJOYING FOOD

I have chosen this name for this blog because it truly states my story. I am a type II diabetic who most certainly enjoys food. When I was diagnosed with diabetes several years ago, my blood sugar level was over 400. With some oral medications, a lot of research and some trial and error, I have found that unlike my ancestors I truly can continue to enjoy food. I hope this blog will help you to also enjoy food and be healthy. Some recipes are my originals and some I have collected. Everyone reacts different to various foods. Check your blood sugar readings so you will know whether or not a recipe works for you! And feel free to take a recipe and adjust it to suit your needs.

SPICED APPLE BUTTER

 

9 cups unsweetened applesauce

5 cups Splenda granular
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp cloves
1/2 tsp allspice
1/2 tsp ground ginger

Place all the ingredients in a crock-pot or slow cooker. Place lid on cooker and cook mixture on high for about 30 minutes. Reduce heat to low and cook until red and thick, about 18 hours. It is not necessary to stir unless you just want to.

Can in hot jelly or pint jars or keep in refrigerator for several weeks. Canned in jelly jars this makes good food gifts.

Use on a thin slice of whole-grain or low-carb bread or toast. Also good as a side with pork, chicken, etc.
