Gentle Christian Mothers Community - View Single Post - Preserving fruit without added sugar?

I want to preserve our black-caps... and then later this season, can peaches and pears... but we are starting on GAPS and the only legal sweetener is honey. Even then, I'd like to keep the level somewhat low, because we battle candida. So. What are some good recipes for preserving that don't involve adding sugar?

I have made applesauce in the past, always unsweetened, but wasn't sure what my options were for berries, peaches and pears.
