We have an abandoned orchard next to where we live, this whopping cooking apple tree, damsons , pears eating apples and greengages.
Unfortunately ive got type 2 now so all the jam making and apple crumbles are over for me. It will all go to waste, people think you are mental picking fruit off a tree , fruit comes from Tesco in a plastic tray .

My sister and I are type 2. Last year she made strawberry jam using splenda instead of sugar. It was expensive to make but really delicious.
You get the real flavour of strawberries rather than just a sickly sweet mush.
You can stew apples or and sprinkle Splenda over them. Delicious with natural yoghurt.
You can freeze the fruit and use it all year round.
