PEACH NECTARINE JAM
PEACH NECTARINE JAM
Imagine buttering rye crisp bread, low-carb crackers or a slice of fresh low-carb bread and spreading a teaspoon (5 mL) of this delicious jam on it.
4 cups chopped ripe peaches (1 L)
2 cups chopped ripe nectarines (500 mL)
3 tbsp lemon juice (45 mL)
3 cups SPLENDA® Granular (750 mL)
1 package No Sugar Needed (49 g)
Fruit Pectin (Bernardin)
1 cup water (250 mL)
1/2 tsp butter (2 mL)
In 9 x 13-inch (23 x 33 cm) glass baking dish, cover six 1-cup (250 mL) jars, lids and rings, a large long-handled spoon and a pair of tongs with boiling water to sterilize. In large kettle, combine peaches and nectarines. Stir in lemon juice. Add SPLENDA® Granular and stir in well. Stir in pectin gradually. Stir in water. Cook over medium high heat and as fruit softens, mash with potato masher (fruit will mostly still be in tiny chunks). Bring to full rolling boil, stirring constantly. Add butter. Boil 1 minute. Remove from heat. Skim off any foam with long-handled spoon.
Carefully pick up jar with tongs and tip water out. Place jar on saucer and spoon hot jam to within 1/2-inch (1cm) of rim. Pick up lid with tongs; place on jar. Pick up ring with tongs and screw on jar tightly, using a clean dish towel. Allow to cool. Refrigerate up to 1 year or freeze for much longer storage.

Variations: Strawberry Jam: Use 8 cups (2 L) frozen unsweetened strawberries and 2 tbsp (25 mL) lemon juice. (0.8 g Carbs)
Strawberry-Rhubarb Jam: Use 6 cups (1.5 L) frozen unsweetened strawberries and 2 cups (500 mL) frozen unsweetened, chopped rhubarb, 1 cup (250 mL) water plus 3 tbsp (45 mL) extra water. Omit lemon juice. Chop rhubarb as it cooks and softens. (0.7 g Carbs)
Raspberry or Blueberry Jam: Use 8 cups (2 L) frozen unsweetened raspberries or blueberries, in addition to, 1 tbsp (15 mL) lemon juice. (Raspberry: 0.7 g Carbs) (Blueberry: 0.8 g Carbs)
Helpful Hint: If you’re unable to find the particular pectin which is to be used with low-calorie sweeteners, then use light pectin and stir in 1 envelope (15 mL) gelatin softened in 2 tbsp (25 mL) water at end of cooking. Use jam fairly quickly after opening. It should last about 1 month in the refrigerator.
CRANBERRY-PINEAPPLE CHUTNEY
CRANBERRY-PINEAPPLE CHUTNEY
This is a sweet, mildly spicy chutney, which goes well with poultry or pork. My sons love it!
2 cooking apples
2 tbsp seedless raisins (25 mL)
3 cups frozen cranberries (750 mL)
2 tbsp water (25 mL)
2, 14-oz cans crushed pineapple, (398 mL)
in juice
1 cup SPLENDA® Granular, OR other granular sweetener (250 mL)
1 tsp ground ginger (5 mL)
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon (2 mL)
1/4 tsp ground allspice, (1 mL)
(optional)
In 9 x 13-inch glass dish, cover five 1-cup (250 mL) jars, lids, rings, large long-handled spoon and pair of tongs with boiling water to sterilize.
Peel, core and dice apples. Place apples in medium bowl; add water to cover. Microwave 2 minutes; drain and set aside. With kitchen scissors, snip raisins in half or smaller. In large kettle, cook cranberries and 2 tbsp (25 mL) water over medium heat until cranberries pop, about 15 minutes. Stir in crushed pineapple, diced apple, snipped raisins, SPLENDA® Granular, OR other granular sweetener, ginger, cinnamon and allspice, if using. Bring to full rolling boil, stirring constantly. Boil until apples are softened and chutney is thickened. Remove from heat and ladle chutney into hot, sterilized jars, sealing with lids and rings. Refrigerate when cool.
Helpful Hint: For extra precautions to ensure longest storage, boil in water bath canner 15 minutes, covering jars with at least 1-inch (2.5 cm) of water. I discovered as long as the jars are refrigerated, this step can generally be omitted.

Building tensions: Israel authorizes construction of 3,000 new settlements
http://rt.com/news/israel-settlement-expansion-palestine-991/
Israeli authorities will allow the construction of 3,000 new settlements in Jerusalem and the West Bank. The decision follows Thursday’s UN General Assembly vote to upgrade Palestinians’ diplomatic status to ‘non-member observer state’.
Celebrations within Palestine that the UN has implicitly recognized its right to statehood might be short-lived according to the latest Israeli media reports.
Apart from approving construction on 3,000 new housing units in the occupied territories, Israel’s “security cabinet,” a forum of nine top Israeli ministers lead by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, will also go ahead with planning procedures for another 1,000 housing units in the area E1 that connects Jerusalem and Ma’aleh Adumim.
Despite Evidence From Discredited Medical Examiner, Mississippi's Jeffrey Havard Nears Execution
Last year, NPR looked at two dozen cases in which adults had been convicted of killing infants or young children, then later exonerated or given commutations. The investigation found a number of common themes in those cases. One of them was that prosecutors often relied on the subjective opinions of a medical examiner. Another was the understandable sorrow and anger a community feels when a child dies, which can nudge law enforcement officials and forensic specialists to see crimes in what may have only been accidental deaths.
Jeffrey Havard, 34, has been on death row in Parchman Penitentiary since 2002. He was convicted of murdering Chloe Britt, the 6-month-old daughter of his girlfriend at the time. Havard claims he was giving the child a bath when, as he was lifting her from the tub, she slipped from his hands and fell, hitting her head on the toilet on the way down. By the time paramedics arrived with her at the hospital, Britt's eyes were fixed and dilated, and she had turned blue. She died a short time later.
Dr. Steven Hayne, a Mississippi medical examiner in private practice, performed an autopsy on the infant. He claimed to have found the symptoms of Shaken Baby Syndrome (SBS), a diagnosis that comes with the implication that the last person to be alone with the child was the one who killed her. Because the symptoms can only be produced by violent shaking, the diagnosis also comes with a built-in indictment of the suspect's state of mind. It's a diagnosis that does much of the prosecutor's work for him.
But SBS has come under fire in recent years. A number of experts have begun to question the validity of the diagnosis and how it's used in court, pointing out, for example, that a number of other factors could cause the symptoms that experts have been telling juries could be caused only by shaking. But even if one were to accept SBS as a sound and legitimate diagnosis, other forensic pathologists say Hayne shouldn't have found it in this case.
Shaken baby convictions rarely result in the death penalty, which requires premeditation or other aggravating circumstances. But in Chloe Britt's case, Hayne concluded that she likely had been sexually abused. In his autopsy, he found that her anus had dilated to about the size of a quarter, and there was also a small contusion on her rectum. The sexual assault component allowed prosecutors to seek the death penalty. They advanced the theory that Havard had abused the girl, then shaken her to death.
From the early 1990s until 2007, Hayne performed 80-90 percent of the autopsies in Mississippi. By his own testimony in depositions and criminal trials, that amounted to between 1,200 and 1,800 per year. (The National Association of Medical Examiners suggests that MEs perform a maximum of 325 autopsies per year.) For much of this time, he shouldered this workload while also holding down one, sometimes two full-time jobs at a local hospital and a kidney research center.
Hayne's testimony helped put thousands of people in prison, mostly in Mississippi, but also in Louisiana and Alabama. Critics say he was able to monopolize autopsy referrals from the state's prosecutors because he told them what they needed to hear in order to ring up convictions. He also testified in numerous lawsuits for medical malpractice and wrongful death.
