Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Mixed Berries (strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, or blueberries)
- 125 grams Granulated Sugar Substitute (such as erythritol or monk fruit sweetener)
- 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice
- 2 tablespoons Chia Seeds
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
Instructions
1. Wash the mixed berries thoroughly under running water. Remove any stems and hull the strawberries if using.
2. Place the berries in a large saucepan over medium heat. Use a masher to gently mash the berries until they start releasing their juices.
3. Add the granulated sugar substitute and lemon juice to the saucepan. Stir well to combine.
4. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, frequently stirring to prevent sticking or burning.
5. Reduce the heat to a simmer and let it cook for about 10 minutes, for the berries to break down further.
6. Stir in the chia seeds and let the mixture simmer for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. The chia seeds will help thicken the jam naturally.
7. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
8. Allow the jam to cool slightly, then transfer it to sterilized glass jars and let it cool completely.
9. Once cooled, seal the jars with lids. Store the jam in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or freeze for longer storage. Enjoy this low-carb jam on your favorite low-carb bread or as a topping for yogurt or desserts.
