I seem to be in a jam making mood. Last week I published the recipe for Easy Sugar-Free Raspberry Jam and now: Sugar-Free Strawberry Jam. I got so thrilled about my (finally!) successful raspberry jam experiment, that I wanted to try out the same method for strawberry jam. And, my husband prefers strawberries to raspberries.
Just replacing raspberries with strawberries didn’t work, there were many other things to consider and to change. But, finally I succeeded in making jam which my whole family likes, including me. Hope you like this as well!

When I was developing the recipe for the Low-Carb Linzer Hearts, I needed some raspberry jam for filling the cookies. Initially I used commercial sugar-free raspberry jam, but it was far too sweet for my taste. And I like sweet! Since the jam was sweetened with grape juice, the carb count was also relatively high. And, I’m not comfortable using jams sweetened with Splenda or NutraSweet, so those didn’t come into question either. Therefore, I wanted to develop a fruity and fresh home-made sugar-free raspberry jam, which is also very low in carbs.

Limoncello is famous Italian liqueur. As a typical liqueur it contains plenty of sugar and is thus not suitable for a very low-carb lifestyle. Therefore, I developed a quick, sugar-free low-carb “Limoncello”, which is used for seasoning this airy dessert mousse.
First, the grated, yellow lemon peel is steeped in vodka at least for overnight. The fluid is then carefully pressed through a strainer and added to a mixture of mascarpone and sweetener. The dessert is finally lightened with beaten egg whites, which round the flavors and make the texture as airy and fluffy mousse.
This adult-only dessert is great for any New Year’s Eve party. The whole family dessert can be made by substituting lemon juice for vodka.
