Jams or Fruits a tartiner (NSA) can be used hot. If you have a sandwich maker, put one spoon of jam between the two slices of bread. The heat develops the flavor of the jam. Instead making a "croque-monsieur", you made a "croque-jam"!
The question of the week:
Why there is much more ingredients in other jams than in the Lola's garden jams?
Let's see, with a critical eye, what are these "other ingredients". The table below gives the list of ingredients of a common low cost strawberry jam, said "sugar free" you can find in supermarkets and why it is included in the formula.
- Strawberry with a note: add trivial amount of sugar (2g) - These 2g of sugar allows to evaluate the quantity of real fruit (around 20g for a bottle of 240g). We are far from more than 65% of fruits in Lola's jams or fruits a tartiner. By the way, 2g of sugar, is it really sugar or sugar free jam?
- Water - As there is a few quantity of real fruit, the matter of the jam is replaced with water.
- Maltodextrin - is a chemical sweetener used to improve the mouth feel and absorbed as rapidly as glucose. It not safe for some people if it contains gluten (and that's the case with Asian production of maltodextrin).
- Pectin - The thickener agent which binds the water and jellify the jam.
- Citric acid - To acidify the jam and reduce the risk of contamination.
- Strawberry flavor - Of course, as the quantity of fruit is low, it is needed to give a (chemical) taste to the water.
- Sodium benzoate and potassium sorbate - chemical preservatives.
- Calcium chloride - chemical firming agent
- Aspartame, acesulfame K - Chemical sweeteners.According to sweetpoison.com "Acesulfame K apparently produced lung tumors, breast tumors, rare types of tumors of other organs (such as the thymus gland), several forms of leukemia and chronic respiratory disease in several rodent studies, even when less than maximum doses were given.". "Headache is the most common adverse side effect attributed to aspartame...In anecdotal reports, aspartame has been linked to various neuropsychiatric disorders, including panic attacks, mood changes, visual hallucinations, manic episodes, and isolated dizziness."
- Red #40 and Blue #1 - Same as strawberry flavor, it is chemical ingredients to color the water. According to Wikipedia, "Red 40 was originally manufactured from coal tar but is now mostly made from petroleum...some studies have found some adverse health effects that may be associated with the dye." And Blue 1 "It is a synthetic dye produced using aromatic hydrocarbons from petroleum....It has the capacity for inducing an allergic reaction in individuals with pre-existing moderate asthma. the Hyperactive Children's Support Group and the Feingold Association recommends to be eliminated from the diet of children".
You can now understand why there are more chemical ingredients in some jams and it is not to improve the quality!
