In the past I have used cottage cheese to make the sauce and then just a small amount of VERY STRONG cheddar to give the flavour without too many syns

This sounds lovely greckofiend! My mum used to make what she called a boiled fruit cake, which involved tea and dried fruit, and it was always very moreish. Not sure about suitability for diabetics, sorry.

FAT FREE SUGAR FREE FRUIT CAKE

1LB MIXED DRIED FRUIT (I also add chopped glace cherries & sometimes nuts too)
1LB SELF RAISING FLOUR 2 EGGS
MUG OF COLD BLACK TEA (just enough to cover the fruit)
Cover the fruit with the cold tea and leave to soak OVERNIGHT.
DO NOT DRAIN OFF THE LIQUID
Heat oven to Gas mark 4 Meanwhile add flour and eggs to fruit & tea mixture. You can add cinnamon or mixed spice to the mixture. Pour into lightly greased baking tin and cook for 1-1/2 hours. Should be firm to the touch.

I'm not sure how sugar free this would be with 1lb dried fruit, glac! cherries etc.


I have been making a crust less quiche lately. Just onion and chive cottage cheese, beaten with eggs, cooked in a low oven until set, using silicone bakeware so it doesn't stick. Bit of grated cheddar mixed in is lovely too.
