THE BEST HOMEMADE JAM!
Do you ever make your own home-made jam?
I always do because, you guessed it, I don’t want to buy jam from the grocery shop and not know what ingredients are exactly inside it.
Also I don’t fancy loading my breakfast with tons of sugar, which is basically the main ingredient in almost all store bought jams and preserves.
Making your own jam is very easy, and the best part is I always flavour mine with Doterra Essential oils.
Yes, and it’s sooo delicious!
Using your Doterra Essential oils in preserves is very straightforward. Once the jam is cooked, add a few drops of your favourite Essential Oils, stir thoroughly and then divide it into your sterilised glass jars.
Easy Peasy ?.
Yesterday I had some nectarines in my fruit basket that were looking a bit sad, so I just threw them in a pot along with some apples and, voila’: home-made jam in a flash ?.
I flavoured this jam with a few drops of Wild Orange and a drop of Cinnamon….it was a big winner at the breakfast table the morning ?.
This type of flavoured, home-made jam is delicious when spreaded on your morning toast, along with some butter, or used in a Crostata cake. You could even add a tablespoon or two on top of porridge, or fresh, home-made scones …yum!
Darn it: now I’m hungry again!!!!
Of course you can use many of the Doterra Essential oils in your jams and preserves, depending on the fruits your are using, and depending on your preferences.
If you are looking for inspiration, my friend Steph over at “unconventionally old fashion” has a fantastic jam recipe!
Make sure you are using ONLY Doterra Essential Oils, and ONLY Essential Oils that are safe and suitable for internal use... sure you don’t want to use Deep Blue in your breakfast!
Doterra has a large range of Essential Oils that are delicious when added to food, such as Lemon, Bergamot, Lime, Grapefruit, Clove, Cassia, Cinnamon, On Guard, Rosemary, Thyme, Ginger ….. it’s a long list!
The Internal use of those Essential Oils is safe when using Doterra products ONLY, because Doterra is the ONLY Company that sells CPTG Oils, meaning that they are Certified, Pure, of Therapeutic Grade: in other words, Doterra Essential Oils are not only safe for internal use, but are also recommended for internal use, due to their amazing properties.
You can flavour your food in so many ways when using Doterra Essential Oils, and jam and preserves are only one option: you could add Cinnamon to your morning porridge; Clove to apple pie; Rosemary and Thyme to roasted chicken; Oregano to Ragu’ sauce; Lime to Guacamole; Grapefruit to a smoothie…. see where I’m going?
I hope you try using Doterra Essential oils in your cooking, if you haven’t already.
