Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups (diced) Rhubarb
- 0.5 cup Water
- 0.5 cup Granulated Erythritol
- 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
- 2 tablespoons Chia Seeds
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
Instructions
Clean the rhubarb stalks thoroughly to remove any dirt. Trim the ends and dice the rhubarb into small pieces, approximately 0.5-inch cubes.
In a medium-sized saucepan, add the diced rhubarb and water. Place the pan over medium heat and bring to a gentle simmer.
Once simmering, reduce the heat to low and cook for about 10 minutes, frequently stirring, until the rhubarb is soft and begins to break down.
Stir in the granulated erythritol and continue to cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the sweetener to dissolve completely.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the lemon juice, chia seeds, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly to combine all ingredients.
Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes, allowing the chia seeds to thicken the jam.
Once thickened, transfer the rhubarb jam to a clean jar or airtight container. Allow it to cool to room temperature before sealing.
Store the jam in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Enjoy it spread on low-carb bread, mixed into yogurt, or as a topping for your favorite dessert!
