Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1000 grams Fresh plums
- 120 grams Erythritol
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 120 milliliters Water
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Wash the plums thoroughly under running water. Cut them into quarters, remove the pits, and place them in a large saucepan.
Add the water to the saucepan with the plums and cook on medium heat until the plums are soft, about 15-20 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once the plums are soft, use an immersion blender to puree the mixture until smooth. Alternatively, you can transfer the mixture to a blender and blend until smooth, then return it to the saucepan.
Add erythritol, lemon juice, and vanilla extract to the plum puree. Stir everything well to combine.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for an additional 20 minutes, stirring frequently. The mixture should start to thicken slightly.
Add the chia seeds to the mixture and continue to cook for another 5 minutes, stirring continuously. The chia seeds will help the jam to thicken further as it cools.
Taste the jam and adjust sweetness by adding more erythritol if desired. Remember, the sweetness will also enhance as the jam cools.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the jam cool for about 10-15 minutes. As it cools, it will thicken even more.
Once cooled, transfer the jam into sterilized jars and seal tightly.
Store in the refrigerator and use within 2 weeks. Enjoy your homemade keto plum jam as a spread on keto bread, a topping for yogurt, or however you prefer!
