FOUR FRUITS PRESERVES

Cherries are a natural source of vitamins and antioxidants. They contain anthocyanins which have anti-inflammatory properties. The fruit is minimally processed in this preserve, retaining most of its nutritional benefits.

Strawberries are high in vitamin C and antioxidants. They are known for their potential to improve heart health and reduce oxidative stress. The use of whole fruit ensures retention of most nutrients.

Redcurrants are rich in vitamin C and polyphenols. They may support immune health and have anti-inflammatory effects. The fruit is used in its natural form, preserving its nutritional profile.

Raspberries are a good source of dietary fiber and antioxidants. They may aid in digestion and reduce the risk of chronic diseases. The fruit is included in its whole form, maintaining its health benefits.

Refined sugar is associated with increased risk of obesity and metabolic disorders. It is highly processed and lacks nutritional value. Excessive consumption can lead to health issues such as diabetes and heart disease.

Cane sugar is a natural sweetener but still contributes to high sugar content. It is less processed than refined sugar but still lacks significant nutritional benefits. Moderation is key to avoid negative health impacts.

Concentrated lemon juice adds acidity and flavor to the preserves. It is processed to remove water, concentrating its flavor and acidity. While it provides some vitamin C, the concentration process may reduce its nutritional content.

Fruit pectin is a natural gelling agent used to thicken preserves. It is derived from fruits and is minimally processed. Pectin can aid in digestion and provide a source of dietary fiber.
