Are we tired of the usual croissant and cappuccino as soon as we wake up? Are we looking for particular tastes to start the day better with a keen eye on health? We have come to the right place. We at ProiezionidiBorsa know the importance of a good and healthy breakfast. Only a few days ago we discovered the unmissable fruit cake that will help the heart and intestines and will give us unforgettable breakfasts. Today we will focus on another recipe that is very useful to counter some very common problems. And fighting diabetes and regularizing the intestines could become easier with this jam. Let’s see why, what are the ingredients with which to prepare it and how to exploit its benefits. It won’t replace any need for doctor’s advice or medication, but when paired with proper lifestyle habits it could really help.
Fighting diabetes and regularizing the intestines could become easier with this jam
The jam we will talk about is the one based on pears and ginger. To prepare it we will need only 4 ingredients:
- 1 kg of pears (we can choose the variety we like best);
- 1 hectogram of ginger;
- 350 grams of unrefined sugar;
- 50 grams of lemon juice.
Pears are one of the most consumed fruits in this period. And that’s definitely good news. Their phytonutrients could prove to be valuable allies against chronic inflammation such as those that cause type 2 diabetes. In addition, they are particularly recommended for those suffering from digestive problems.
Ginger, on the other hand, is one of the best natural products to regulate intestinal motility and is an excellent antimicrobial.
How to prepare it
Let’s start preparing our jam starting right from the pears. We remove the peel, cut them into wedges and remove the seeds. At this point we can make them into smaller pieces as possible. We repeat the operations with the ginger and after having peeled and cut it let’s put it in a saucepan with the pears.
We cover the base of the jam with sugar and also pour the lemon juice. Put the saucepan on the stove over medium heat, being careful not to let the sugar attack. When it has melted completely, raise the heat and cook for about forty minutes.
After this time we pass the mixture in a blender to make it creamier and while it is still hot we put it in the classic glass jars. Let’s turn them to obtain the vacuum effect and as soon as the jam has cooled we move to the pantry. It will last for a few months if we keep it away from sunlight and in a dry place.
