Apple and Strawberry Jam with Thermomix

Apple and Strawberry Jam with Thermomix


How about spreading a fantastic jam on bread in the morning? Apple and strawberry is a smart recipe, because the pectin contained in apples helps to thicken what usually remains a "soft" jam.

Whenever you are preparing to make homemade jam it is important to give the right weight to the quantities of sugar and fruit, because fruit defines its vitamin supply, while sugars determine the amount of calories and also the conservation (more sugar is there, the longer it is stored).

In this case, you could not have chosen a better fruit: strawberries are true allies of natural beauty :-). Of course, as far as I know, they are also a little allergenic and therefore they do not go well during breastfeeding.

Apples, on the other hand, are very suitable for gastroenteritis, gallstones, slimming diets and can be consumed in case of diabetes. In addition, unlike other fruits, they do not favor intestinal fermentations and, among other things, they are rich in minerals and B vitamins.

Maybe the dentists are shivering, but I find it fantastic to eat an apple after meals because I seem to brush my teeth! : D

What to say more? Maybe ... enjoy your meal!
