Need To Make Preserves Or Jam And Jelly

Need a quick & easy way to make either or both of the items in the topic title. Having to be low salicylate so I'm limited to homemade & only golden delicious apples or mangos. I don't know if I need pectin for jelly & if so if pectin is high sals. I can't find it on any sals list. Neither of these has to be the finest example of jelly or preserves either, just something sweet to spread on bread.

Apple butter won't do as the hubs wouldn't eat it (picky, picky) however I wouldn't have a problem with it at all!

I have never tried this so not sure if it will work ... but I was listening to NPR once and they were interviewing a cookbook author. She suggested boiling (for several hours I think) one of those jugs of unfiltered apple cider. Said it would eventually turn into jelly. I've been dying to try this, but of course once I heard the interview I hadn't seen apple cider unfiltered. Been dying to try it though!

I actually saw a recipe for Chia Jam today. It's made with fresh fruit and chia seeds! I'm thinking I'll give it a try tomorrow, not sure how long it lasts but it sure looks good in the pictures lol worth a shot and all natural!

Here's the link:

Oh wow, I can't wait till I can make those muffins! But b/c of needing to be low sals & low iodine, I can't do the strawberries or coconut flour.

But the chia seeds for jam would be okay. I have to use either golden delicious apples or mangos, those are the only fruits hubs likes that are allowed with the restrictions.

I worry about the pectin either homemade or store bought b/c either way it is higher on the sals scale. I would have to use a different kind of apple to make the pectin & nothing is allowed but golden delicious.

Well I think mango chia sounds wicked yummy!! What do you use for your flours in muffins that are low sals? Just curious, I'm not very up on the options! :)

I checked out the link for homemade pectin and it seems like a lot of work, but I bet if you do it once it gets much easier! I'm not sure if my cooking skills are up for that challenge though haha :) maybe you can play around with the golden delicious and get it to work, I'm sure it's doable you'll just have to get the consistency right, or atleast that the way it reads lol but don't take my word for it, I'm not much of a chef, but I am up for experimenting in the kitchen from time to time- I rarely ever call it cooking though haha :)

I haven't made muffins yet --- well not that kind anyway. I'm sort of just now feeling my way around baking gluten-free stuff myself caselynn. Rice is low sals, tapioca is low sals(ick!), cocoa powder is low sals, almond flour is high sals, cashew flour is low sals, it's getting pretty mind boggling to me.blink.gif Between sals & iodine it seems every time I find something that works one way I get scotched the other way. But I'm trying!

Check this one out:

it's YUMMY!

Trying is what counts! You'll get it, ive found that I just don't try and bake anymore (not very often) and that's awful! I'll never get any better if I don't try! I think I'll try that recipe you linked next time, sounds good to me!

You could google no pectin or low pectin jellies and jams to see what recipe would work for you. The ones I saw for apple jelly and mango jam called for sugar and lemon juice. You can make homemade applesauce then freeze in small plastic baggies to keep. Thaw in a bowl of warm water. Add vanilla, cinnamon, sugar if desired and allowed. Not exactly jam but would work. You might try pureed mango and freeze as above.

Well now why in the world didn't I think to google no or low pectin jellies & jams? Couldn't see the forest for the trees I guess. Thank you for clearing those trees out of my way purple!biggrin.gif Perfect!

And oddly enough lemon or lime juice are lower on the sals scale so I can use them. Isn't that odd? All other citrus juice is high sals.

Well, I made a trial run of mango preserves today using no pectin as per purple's suggestion. I was only making a small batch in case it flopped on me so I didn't get into exact measurements; I just winged it. I got 2 humongous mangos for the test run. Mangos, sugar & lemon juice, peel, cut & cook. Yielded about 20 oz. It turned out GREAT! biggrin.gifbiggrin.gifbiggrin.gif

      Challenges eating gluten before biopsy

      For those who will likely remain gluten-free for life anyway due to well-known symptoms they have when eating gluten, my general advice is to ignore any doctors who push to go through a gluten challenge to get a formal diagnosis--and this is especially true for those who have severe symptoms when they eat gluten. It can take months, or even years to recover...

      Certainly, it would b wise to have a gene test done if your physician is open to it as it would provide some more data to understand what's going on. But keep in mind that the genetic test for celiac disease cannot be used as to diagnose celiac disease, only to establish the potential to develop active celiac disease. About 40% of the general population possess one or both of the primary genes known to be associated with the development of active celiac disease but only about 1% of the population actually develop active celiac disease. So, the gene test is an effective "rule out" tool but not an effective diagnostic tool.

      Challenges eating gluten before biopsy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      For those who will likely remain gluten-free for life anyway due to well-known symptoms they have when eating gluten, my general advice is to ignore any doctors who push to go through a gluten challenge to get a formal diagnosis--and this is especially true for those who have severe symptoms when they eat gluten. It can take months, or even years to recover from such a challenge, so why do this if you already know that gluten is the culprit and you won't be eating it anyway?  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS--but those in this group will usually have negative tests, or at best, elevated antibodies that don't reach the level of official positive. Unfortunately test results for celiac disease are not always definitive, and many errors can be made when doing an endoscopy for celiac disease, and they can happen in many ways, for example not collecting the samples in the right areas, not collecting enough samples, or not interpreting the results properly and giving a Marsh score.  Many biopsy results can also be borderline, where there may be certain damage that could be associated with celiac disease, but it just doesn't quite reach the level necessary to make a formal diagnosis. The same is true for blood test results. Over the last 10 years or so a new "Weak Positive" range has been created by many labs for antibody results, which can simply lead to confusion (some doctors apparently believe that this means the patient can decide if they want more testing or to go gluten-free). There is no "Weak Negative" category, for example. Many patients are not told to eat gluten daily, lots of it, for the 6-8 week period leading up to their blood test, nor asked whether or not they've been eating gluten. Some patients even report to their doctors that they've been gluten-free for weeks or months before their blood tests, yet their doctors incorrectly say nothing to them about how this can affect their test, and create false negative results. Many people are not routinely given a total IGA blood test when doing a blood screening, which can lead to false negative interpretations if the patient has low IGA. We've seen on this forum many times that some doctors who are not fully up on how interpret the blood test results can tell patients that the don't need to follow a gluten-free diet or get more testing because only 1 of the 2 or 3 tests done in their panel is positive (wrong!), and the other 1 or 2 tests are negative.  Dermatologists often don't know how to do a proper skin biopsy for dermatitis herpetiformis, and when they do it wrongly their patient will continue to suffer with terrible DH itching, and all the risks associated with celiac disease. For many, the DH rash is the only presentation of celiac disease. These patients may end up on strong prescriptions for life to control their itching which also may have many negative side effects, for example Dapsone. Unfortunately many people will continue to suffer needlessly and eat gluten due to these errors in performing or interpreting celiac disease tests, but luckily some will find out about non-celiac gluten sensitivity on their own and go gluten-free and recover from their symptoms. Consider yourself lucky if you've figured out that gluten is the source of your health issues, and you've gone gluten-free, because many people will never figure this out.
