Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups ripe papaya
- 1 cup granulated erythritol
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup water
Instructions
Start by peeling the papaya, removing the seeds, and chopping it into small cubes. You should have about 2 cups of cubed papaya.
In a medium saucepan, combine the papaya cubes and water. Cook over medium heat until the papaya starts to soften, about 5 minutes.
Use a potato masher or fork to mash the softened papaya into a smooth pulp. You can also use a blender for a smoother texture.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the granulated erythritol, lemon juice, and chia seeds. Mix well to combine all the ingredients.
Continue cooking the mixture on low heat, stirring occasionally, for another 15-20 minutes or until the jam thickens to your desired consistency.
Once thickened, remove the jam from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Ensure it is well incorporated.
Allow the jam to cool completely before transferring it to a clean, airtight jar or container.
Store the jam in the refrigerator. It will continue to thicken slightly as it cools and can be kept refrigerated for up to 2 weeks.
