Instead of this

Homemade berry chia jam (no added sugar)
GL 5 per 100 g Chia seed jam offers a similar sweet, spreadable consistency but with a significantly lower GI of 30 and GL of 5, making it a much better choice for blood sugar stability.
Cooked rhubarb
GL 1 per 100 g Stewed rhubarb provides a tart, fruit-based alternative with a very low GI of 15 and GL of 1, which is ideal for managing glycemic response compared to the high-GL lingonberry sauce.
Wild blueberries
GL 7 per 100 g Wild blueberries provide a natural, antioxidant-rich fruit alternative with a much lower GL of 7, helping to avoid the sharp glucose spike associated with the original sauce.
