Foods that *seem* healthy but are not...

Deb, I love the St Dalfours fruit spread, it's delish! And such yummy flavours. We pretty much only have that or homemade. I am an absolute sugar nazi but I personally think that sugarless jam is probably just like having dried out stewed fruit, not really jam at all .

Mum usually soaks her corned beef overnight to draw out a bit of salt, she only gets it from the local butcher who sells meat from local farms. I agree though Inanna, it is still salty! It's a special occasion dinner for us, like Christmas

The nitrates are even worse than the salt!

Ange - I have just tried your muffin recipe! *droooooooooooooooooooool*

Yay! I still havn't been home yet to check the quantities. Glad it worked. Pretty easy aren't they?

[Junglemum]

Ange they turned out perfectly! mini and full size ones strawberry blueberry flavour... a MASSIVE hit with my DD (and me) and the neighbour and her two kids!
The Bear is currently making some nitrate-free corned beef for a free range butcher at our local market. It does need lots of salt though, it's the salt that preserves the meat.
Deb, I just googled sugarless jam = try cooks dot com they seem to have quite a few recipes there.

Yummo thanks for that Pixie - yummy can I come to your place tonight???

I have organic beef stroganoff with everything organic except the olive oil that I fried off with!

You'd be very welcome Deb! If you make one of the sugarless jams report back to us on Bathsheba's Jam & Marmalade thread.... And to prevent this thread going wildly off-topic due to me waxing lyrical about Ange's muffin recipe, I might have to start a dedicated muffin thread.
