Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups mixed berries (such as strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)
- 1 cup Swerve granular sweetener
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 0.25 cup water
Instructions
Rinse the mixed berries thoroughly under cold water and remove any stems or leaves.
In a large saucepan, combine the berries and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the berries begin to break down and release their juices, about 5-7 minutes.
Using a potato masher or a fork, carefully mash the berries to your desired consistency. For a chunkier jam, mash less thoroughly.
Stir in the Swerve granular sweetener and add the lemon juice to the berry mixture. Continue to cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens, about 5 minutes.
Sprinkle the chia seeds evenly over the mixture and stir to combine. The chia seeds will help thicken the jam further as it cools.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the jam to cool slightly before transferring it to sterilized glass jars or containers.
Seal the jars and let the jam cool completely at room temperature. Store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
Enjoy your low-carb mixed fruit jam on toast, yogurt, or as a sweet addition to various dishes!
