Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Fresh mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)
- 60 grams Erythritol or low carb sweetener
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Start by washing the mixed berries thoroughly and removing any stems or leaves from the strawberries.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the berries, erythritol, and fresh lemon juice. Stir well to evenly coat the berries with the sweetener and juice.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Let the berries cook for about 10-15 minutes until the berries have released their juices and softened. Use a spoon or a potato masher to carefully mash the berries to your desired consistency.
Stir in the lemon zest, chia seeds, and vanilla extract. Continue cooking the mixture for an additional 5 minutes, allowing it to thicken as the chia seeds absorb the juices.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the confituur cool slightly. Taste and adjust sweetness if necessary.
Once cooled, transfer the confituur into sterilized jars. Seal tightly and allow it to cool completely at room temperature before refrigerating.
Store the low carb mixed berry confituur in the refrigerator for up to two weeks and enjoy as desired.
