These Jams are made with Grape Juice instead of Sugar and are recommended by the French Diabetes Association.This method of preserving Fruit was devised during the First World war by the present owner's Grand Mother due to the shortage of Sugar---since they had extensive Fruit Orchards and Vineyards,she devised this method to preserve the Fruit.I use this on my Toasts and in my Trifle Puddings and eat it without guilt----tastes yummy and is 100% natural-no additives!A bit expensive but worth it!
MORE INFORMATION:
The Story behind this was published in one of the Magazines I buy---it caught hold of my Imagination and I bought my first Bottle!!The taste is so delicious that both my husband and I are hooked on it for Life!!I use it to spice up my Whole Wheat Toasts and use it sparingly----just to satisfy !!!

Prayer to St. Antyony
For those of you who may not be aware, and want to get in touch with a spiritual side--when something is lost, you should pray to St. Anthony who is the patron saint of lost items. The normal prayer is :St. Anthony, St. Anthony, please come around. Something is lost and cannot be found. Well, I changed it up a bit and say this prayer before every meal now:
St. Anthony, St. Anthony, please come around My skinny is lost and cannot be found.
