Directions
Sugar-Free Apricot Butter, Slightly modified from Canning and Preserving Without Sugar by Norma M MacRae , Made this recipe and was looking forward to a nice apricot flavour and all I can taste is the lemon I find that the lemon overpowers the other spices as well as the apricots I don’t know if I did something wrong I added the whole chopped lemon Help!!!, My husband and I acquired this recipe for our diabetic father We did add additional cinnamon because we love that autumn flavor It’s easy to make and tastes WONDERFUL However, it is important to note two things One, THIS IS NOT A SUGAR FREE RECIPE It’s a NO SUGAR ADDED recipe This is a very important distinction when working with diabetes Fruit naturally contains a significant amount of sugar Two, remember to remove the cloves before canning or serving Whole cloves were not meant to be digested They just add flavor while cooking
