Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh strawberries
- 100 grams granulated erythritol
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
Instructions
Start by washing and hulling the fresh strawberries. Cut them into small pieces for easier cooking.
Place the chopped strawberries in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat. Stir occasionally as they begin to soften.
Once the strawberries have cooked down and released their juices (approximately 5-7 minutes), use a potato masher or a fork to mash them to your desired consistency.
Add the granulated erythritol to the strawberries and continue to cook, stirring gently until the sweetener is fully dissolved.
Stir in the lemon juice and vanilla extract, incorporating them well into the mixture.
Sprinkle the chia seeds evenly over the jam mixture and stir well. The chia seeds will help thicken the jam as it cools.
Let the mixture simmer over low heat for an additional 10 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
Once the jam has thickened to your liking, remove the saucepan from the heat and let it cool slightly.
Pour the jam into a sterilized jar or container. Allow it to cool completely, then seal tightly and refrigerate.
Your homemade keto strawberry jam is now ready to enjoy! It keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
