Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Zucchini
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 0.75 cup Powdered erythritol sweetener
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 0.5 cup Water
Instructions
Peel the zucchini and grate it finely to achieve about 4 cups.
In a large saucepan, combine the grated zucchini, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, powdered erythritol, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and ground ginger.
Add the water to the pan and stir well to combine all ingredients.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
Simmer the mixture for about 25 minutes until the zucchini softens and the liquid decreases, stirring frequently to avoid sticking.
Sprinkle the xanthan gum into the mixture while stirring constantly to prevent clumping.
Continue to simmer for an additional 5 minutes to allow the jam to thicken, stirring constantly.
Remove the pan from heat and let the jam cool to room temperature.
Transfer the cooled jam into sterilized glass jars or an airtight container.
Store in the refrigerator and enjoy your keto apple jam within 2 weeks.
