I wanted a peanut butter and jelly sandwich today, and had no jelly, so I pureed about 3.5 cups of frozen strawberries, and boiled it down until it was thick enough. I can't really do a recipe, because I don't have exact measurements. My mom lightly sweetened the strawberries before she froze them, and I know boiling it down makes it slightly higher calorie by weight, but I'm pretty sure it's still a lot lower in sugar than boughten jam, as there was just enough sugar to make the strawberries a little sweet. What is the best way to log this? Just strawberry preserves?

    I searched "low sugar strawberry preserves" in the food database and got several results that were all around the same calorie count, 25-30 cal/T.

    That's what I went with. Next time I can make it, I'll be a little more precise, and make a recipe.
