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.

I enjoy canning for our church bazaar. We just never know what will sell, so I try to find different items that people can't get in the supermarket.
Overall I enjoy cooking but don't usually have much time for it.
