This surely isn't "sugar-free" in any sense of the idea. Pineapple,
strawberries, kiwi and bananas contain sugars. Concentrated apple juice
merely concentrates the sugars, and the thickener (unless a food gum)
adds more carbs. Crumbs add to the carb load, though not to sugars
unless they've cookie or cake crumbs.

So while no white or brown sugars are added to the recipe, there are
certainly sugars in it.

Yes I see that but I must ask: what is the point of no added
sugar when there is enough natural sugar with the fruit and
juice to throw any diabetic's bg into the stratosphere?

Where exaactly did you read that this was for a diabetic?

If it makes any difference, it is for a weight loss diet where natural
sugar in fruit is permitted, and counts toward fruit exchanges. The recipe
was once published by Weight Watchers. Depending on the choice of cottage
cheese, it is either low-fat or fat-free. There is no regular sugar
(dextrose) added.

Yes, I know that. I should have referred to it as "no sugar added". The
only thickener is unflavored gelatin. IIRC, the crumb mixture was made
from dry bread crumbs, cinnamon, and a small amount of artificial
sweetener. The pan was very lightly coated with diet margarine, then
dusted with the crumb mixture.

I am quite aware that the fruits and juice concentrate contain sugar. The
recipe is for a weight loss program, not a diabetic diet. It was once
published by Weight Watchers, and sugars contained in fruit are permitted.

So, do you have a recipe, or not? I wasn't asking for a critique.

Yes, I know I did. Sorry if it was misunderstood. I am Type 2 diabetic, but
diet controlled, and can handle fruit sugar in moderation.

I posted to alt.food.diabetic because I thought someone might have a "no

Understood. But that recipe wasn't moderate at all in fruit sugars.

I have a recipe for a pineapple cheesecake, but it's not sugar-free, but I
