Raspberries have a wonderful flavor and color and are also low in carbs. One way to take advantage of the fruit's intense flavor for more than a day after picking is to make jam.

• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• pinch salt
• Sweetener equivalent to 2 tablespoons sugar
• 3 1/2 tablespoons ThickenThin not/Sugar thickener
