Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Fresh blueberries
- 100 grams Granulated erythritol sweetener
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons Chia seeds
- 60 ml Water
Instructions
Start by rinsing the blueberries under cold water and removing any stems or leaves.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the blueberries, erythritol sweetener, and water.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
Once simmering, reduce the heat to medium-low and continue to cook for about 15 minutes, stirring frequently until the blueberries have softened and burst.
Use a potato masher or fork to gently mash the blueberries to your desired consistency. If you prefer a smoother preserve, you can use an immersion blender.
Add the lemon juice and vanilla extract to the saucepan. Stir to combine evenly.
Sprinkle in the chia seeds while stirring constantly to ensure they are well incorporated. Continue to cook for 5 more minutes, allowing the chia seeds to thicken the preserve.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the preserve cool to room temperature. The chia seeds will continue to thicken the mixture as it cools.
Once cooled, transfer the preserve to a sterilized glass jar or airtight container. Seal the jar and refrigerate.
Allow the preserve to sit in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving to maximize the thickening power of the chia seeds. The preserve will keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
