Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries)
- 0.5 cup Erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.25 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the mixed berries with water. If using frozen berries, it is not necessary to thaw them beforehand.
Heat the berries over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the berries soften and release their juices. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
Using a potato masher or the back of a spoon, carefully mash the berries to your desired consistency. For a smoother jam, blend the mixture with an immersion blender.
Add the erythritol or monk fruit sweetener and lemon juice to the berry mixture, stirring well to combine.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for about 10 minutes. Stir occasionally during this time.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the chia seeds and vanilla extract. The chia seeds will act as a natural thickener.
Let the jam sit for about 10 minutes to allow the chia seeds to thicken the jam further. As it cools, it will continue to thicken to a jam-like consistency.
Transfer the jam to a glass jar or an airtight container, and let it cool completely before refrigerating. The jam should keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Enjoy your keto-friendly berry jam on low-carb bread, pancakes, or as a topping for yogurt!
