Yummy Prune Jam is Sugar-Free with Apples and Cinnamon

This prune jam recipe was so easy to make and healthy without all that sugar usually found in jams. It took me just over an hour which included taking lots of photos of the jam too. Adding the cinnamon made it extra delicious. I did add a little stevia to make it sweeter. This recipe makes two small jars as seen in the photos here.

Yes, prunes will help you poop and they are also a nutritious superfood. They are full of many amazing health benefits from helping with constipation to lowering blood pressure to even helping with weight loss.  They are good for diabetics as they have a low glycemic index , so they don’t spike blood sugar.  Prunes also help prevent bone loss and improve liver function and are a great source of dietary fiber, potassium and vitamin K.  So do enjoy a healthy prune or two as these dried plums are a tasty sweet treat and yummy prune jam is a delicious way to enjoy them.

The common apple has uncommonly huge health benefits, and how to best enjoy them. Your mom didn’t use the term superfood but she knew about apples. “An apple a day keeps the doctor away” was the first nutritional advice I and many children heard from their moms.  For this reason, we call them “the first superfood.”

As I don’t use sugar for my baking I often use stevia which is the healthy option.  The stevia plant is incredibly sweet and also incredibly good for you.  The leaf is 30 times sweeter than sugar while extracts are 300-400 times sweeter.  The best stevia will, therefore, be the one that retains some whole food value and is water-based.  Liquid forms will be less processed.  Go here to learn How to Get the Best Stevia Without the Bitterness

When we think of cinnamon we usually imagine delicious pastries or a hot drink but cinnamon is also full of health benefits.  These benefits are backed by valid scientific research. It is helpful from lowering “bad” HDL cholesterol levels to lowering blood sugar levels.

  1. Hi. Thanks for sharing this recipe! I was wondering did you use fresh prunes or dried ones?

    1. Diana Herrington

      Prunes are always dry; they are dried plums. I think you are thinking of plums, the fresh fruit.
