It actually says "for diabetic recipes see".
 
A handy book if the recipes are good 🙂 Just noticed the book says ‘low sugar and low fat’ but no mention of carbs 🙄
 
So apart from jam and diabetic books what did everyone get for Christmas? I got chocolates this year (because allegedly my diabetes is now cured), Chanel perfume, Courvoisier brandy (who started the rumour I drink!), smellies and jewellery.
 
Well... 2 bottles Amaretto, Chocs and nougat which my friends will get, sweaters, shirts, no socks lol OH!!!!! and am Empty wallet😱
 
A pair of jodhpurs with silicone grippy bits on the bum to help me stick to the saddle, some riding gloves, and the next three books in the Alexander McCall Smith Scotland Street series. Oh, and a pair of garden shears.
 
Hope the recipe book has some good recipes in it.
I done pretty good, smellies, calendar x2, diary x3, Disney bits, picture frame and a new camera.
 
Was a very lucky lady. Got pj,s, pj,s, fluffy cosy top, socks, teas, toiletries and smellies, candles, wee bag of Lind chocolates, earrings, wine,scarf and gloves, and bird bath and bird feeders. So translated, I am a sweet toothed,smelly lush who likes to slob and stay warm. People know me so well. Hope everyone had a good day. I am home, cosied in and have had a lovely family day. Here is wishing the same for everyone else.
 

That jam has been around for years - I remember a friend of mine who opened a health food store in Sheffield in 1980 selling it!

Lets hope the taste has improved from back then. Vile was the only way to describe it then and bad enough to put anyone off of jam for life.

We'll have to wait for Ralph's verdict, although I have no doubt it was bought with absolutely the best of intentions 🙂 I see they have cheekily got round the rule about not being able to label things 'diabetic' by advertising a 'diabetic' recipe book on the label instead! 😱 🙄

I suppose it's possible some people have never read my 'Diabetic Jam' poem, so here it is 🙂

Ah! You’re diabetic? Well, don’t worry my dear,
We’ve got all sorts of goodies that are suitable here!
There’s diabetic chocolate and diabetic cake,
And diabetic jam – took me ages to make!

And diabetic sweets in all sorts of flavours –
For someone like you they’re heavenly saviours!
So don’t feel deprived, they’re especially for you!
I’ve heard sugar would kill you – is that really true?

Now you might find the sweeteners are rather emetic,
But you’ll just have to suffer since you’re diabetic…
I should also mention they cost twice the price
Of ordinary sweet stuff, but don’t taste as nice…

What’s that? You’re declining? Well how can that be?
But you can't eat normally, like people like me!
You can? Well, my goodness, I’ve learned something new!
My business is finished, and no thanks to you!

😱 :D
 
I was spoilt rotten, money, hotel chocolat stuff, green and blacks pralines, 2 pairs of jammies, toe socks, diamond earrings from Bruce's colleague!!, Pandora bracelet (that doesn't fit so will be returned and have ordered a chamilia one) 2 charms, mini and big snowglobes (one of the things I collect) a calender, I think that's it now lol x
 
That jam is yuck! My mum got me a jar after DX 😱
I got a lovely silver crystal ring, money, PJs, clothes, a journal, mint chocolate selection, my favourite facial moisturiser, cardigan, oh and 2 bottles of red wine :D
 
On the plus side I got spoiled rotten - a diamond necklace from my little boy, clothes, a paella pan, saffron, other kitchen stuff, lsa glasses, socks, hotel chocolate hot chocolate (works out at 4g carbs per glass and is devine), curry book, money, and some lovely rituals bubble bath and shower gel
 
I got a Titanic model kit, a USB vinyl to MP3 turntable, some Green & Blacks chocs & two books to learn Hungarian.🙂
 
New lamps that we chose together, earrings, ceramic bangle, willow woven platter, The Book of Dust (not an advice book on cleaning!), linen shopping bags, lots of yummy food, wine and soirits.
