REC: Strawberry (Fruit) Sauce
This is great over Breyer's low carb ice-cream but please DO NOT POUR! Be
nice and measure) Strawberry (Fruit) Sauce 1 1/2 cup frozen berries 1 1/2 cup water 3/4 cup Splenda 1 T lemon juice 1 slightly rounded teaspoon guar gum Mix Splenda and guar gum together to more evenly mix. Add berries and water with lemon juice, simmer until berries are soft, I mash mine lightly with a potato masher (hey, gotta use the damn thing for something in this "no potatoes" kitchen!) Cool and put in a jar or bottle with a wide mouth, enjoy on ice cream or pancakes You can use any kind of berries or fruit, fresh peach is also excellent but use these sparingly, not for induction. Using frozen strawberries it makes 3 cups at 11 grams carb per cup or 2.75 grams per 1/4 cup (serving size) I used the USDA database. Splenda makes up 18 carbs so you can lower the carb count using Diabetisweet or Sweet 'n Low. This can get very thick when cooled and you can even use it as a fruit spread on low carb toast or over a slice of low carb cheesecake. If it gets too thick for you, thin it with a bit of warm water. I have also experimented with various flavorings but I like the natural taste of fruit personally. Also, I use guar gum because that's what I found at my health food store. You can probably use xanthan gum if that's what you have available. Both are vegetable thickeners, all fiber, insignificant carb count Nancy J 209/165/145 |
