This is a quick and very easy recipe that makes one medium sized jar of jam.  You can use fresh or frozen berries (anything you like – I like strawberries or blueberries). You can puree berries before cooking.

•  2 cups berries
• 1/2 cup spenda honey (or 1/2 tsp. stevia)

Bring to a boil, and simmer for 2 minutes, then in a seperate container combine:

• 2 Tablespoons cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water
• 2 tsp. lemon juice

Add slowly to the berry mixture, and simmer for another 1 to 2 minutes until thick.  Pour in steralized jar and refridgerate.  This is so fast, easy and tasty.

This chicken can be grilled, baked in the oven or you could cook it in a slow cooker.  Any time of the year, it is just so easy to put all the ingredients into the slow cooker, then go out for the day.  When you come home everything is done.  In a slow cooker you could add oriental vegetables.

 Marinate – combine:

• 1/4 cup fresh orange juice
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 2 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1 Tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 Tablespoon peeled and minced fresh garlic
• salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

6 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves – rinsed and patted dry.

Marinate chicken in refrigerator for a minimun of 4 hours or overnight.

Grill chicken breasts over hot coals 4 to 5 minutes per side or until cooked through.  Serves 6.
