Healthy Sugar-Free Desserts For Diabetes

Poached Fruit

One of the biggest appeals of this dessert is poached fruit can be created from almost any fruit, including dried fruits. It's also possible to use dozens of different liquids as the poaching base, which means individuals can choose a sugar-free or low-sugar liquid to help manage their blood sugar. Poaching fruit takes about an hour, but individuals can do a lot of fruit at once if they want desserts that will last for several days. First, individuals will need to pick up some fruit at the grocery store. The best fruits to use are ones that are ripe and firm rather than squishy. Pretty much any fruit that's in season will work. Some of the most common choices are mango, pineapple, berries, grapefruit, oranges, apples, pears, prunes, figs, and dried apricots. Any fresh fruit purchased should be peeled and cut into slices before the poaching. If individuals use dried fruit, though, they don't have to prep it at all. The fruit should be placed in a pot with the poaching liquid and covered. The fruit should be simmered until cooked through. The length of time this takes will vary depending on the fruit used as well as the quantity being poached at the same time.
