Just Another Meatless Monday--Jarfaits

A what? A Jarfait! A Parfait in a Jar, Jarfait. A parfait is simply a layered dessert, usually pudding layers topped with fruit and whipped cream.  I make mine with yogurt in jars for boy's school lunches instead of  those expensive single servings of yogurt. Plus since I control the ingredients we stay far away from food coloring and unneeded additives. And talk about about inexpensive! I can make 2 weeks+ worth of yogurt for less than 7 dollars.

To make low sugar jam jarfaits simply layer jam, yogurt and kefir in the jars. Start with jam then add yogurt and kefir and more jam in layers. Try all different kinds of fresh made Jarfaits, you'll be amazed at how versatile and delicious yogurt can be.
If you want to start making low sugar jam or jelly, no sugar jam or jelly or jam and jelly made with honey I would recommend Pomona Pectin. Here's a list of my posts and a few recipes using Pomona Pectin:
