People often want to find substitutes for dietary sugar in their diet. But in what areas can sugar be replaced? Is xylitol also suitable for baking? Does it cook just as well? Does it dissolve equally easily in liquids? The answer to these questions is yes, yes and yes.
Sugar in jams can be replaced with xylitol. It has fewer calories and is sweeter

Most jam recipes from all verified, reliable sources call for 5 to 9 cups (1 to 1.8 kg) of sugar per batch, for just a few jars! Although xylitol is sweeter than sugar, it has fewer calories and less of it is added. Xylitol is recommended for diabetics and people on a diet.

Xylitol successfully replaces sugar not only in jams but also in cakes, desserts, compotes and even home-made tea. No wonder, it has fewer calories and is used less than sugar. For making jam you should use 600 to 800 g of it per 1 kg of fruit, which is much less than traditional sweetener.
You can buy xylitol in any grocery store. A small package will last for a long time
My mother buys xylitol in well-known supermarkets and adds it not only to jams, but also to cakes. Just search on the Internet what proportions of sugar to add to famous dishes and that’s it. Your desserts will be healthier and lower in calories, but still tasty and sweet.
