I had a craving for crepes the other day with jam – Not wanting to buy any of the sugar laden jams on the market I decided to make my own.
This is perfect for anyone especially for kids!
Instead on thickening the jam with gelatine I used Agar Agar Powder which is obtained from red algae – so great for everyone including vegans!
I also added some Superfruit Baobab which is loaded with Vitamin C and has good levels of potassium, calcium, magnesium and B vitamins – A great Immune System Balancer.
