Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams mixed berries (fresh or frozen)
- 75 grams granulated erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Rinse the mixed berries under cold water if you are using fresh berries. If using frozen berries, ensure they are unthawed before starting.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the mixed berries, granulated erythritol, and lemon juice.
Place the saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the berries start to release their juices and the erythritol dissolves completely. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 15 minutes, stirring frequently. Use a wooden spoon to gently mash the berries if you prefer a smoother texture.
After the berries have softened and the mixture has thickened slightly, stir in the chia seeds.
Continue to simmer the mixture for another 5 minutes, allowing the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken the confituur.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Let the confituur cool to room temperature in the pan. As it cools, it will thicken further.
Once cooled, transfer the Keto Mixed Berry Confituur to a clean jar or airtight container.
Refrigerate for up to two weeks, and enjoy it as a spread, topping, or mix-in for a variety of keto-friendly dishes.
