This prune jam is a sugar-free recipe that is very easy to make and is healthy without all the sugar usually found in jams. It took me just over an hour, which includes taking lots of photos of the jam, too. Adding the cinnamon made it extra delicious. Also, I added a little stevia to make it sweeter and that is a very healthy sweetener.

It is important not to eat white sugar, which the jams you get in regular supermarkets are full of. This is a very nutritious and delicious recipe that is so easy to make.

This recipe makes two small jars, as seen in the photos here.

Prune Jam Ingredients

Prunes

Yes, prunes will help you poop and they are also a nutritious superfood. They are full of many health benefits, from helping with constipation to lowering blood pressure and 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, 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.

ELAN Organic Pitted Prunes are Non-Gmo, Gluten-free, Sulfite-Free, and Certified Kosher.

Apples

The apple has many health benefits and many ways to 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. A good addition to this prune jam.

Stevia

As I don’t use sugar for my baking, I often use stevia, which is the healthy option. The stevia plant is 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

Cinnamon

Adding this sweet spice to the prune jam makes it extra delicious. When we think of cinnamon, we usually imagine delicious pastries or a hot drink, but cinnamon is also full of health benefits, backed by valid scientific research. It helps lower “bad” HDL cholesterol levels by lowering blood sugar levels.

Water

When making this prune jam, it is best to use clean water. Our tap water is full of unregulated chemicals! US federal scientists found traces of 21 chemicals in the water. The only way to remove fluoride is to use a reverse osmosis system, some are better than others.

APEC Water System, 5-Stage Reverse Osmosis Drinking Water Filter System is great.

Now, let’s make our prune jam with this easy recipe below.
