Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 600 grams Mixed berries (raspberries, blueberries, strawberries, and blackberries)
- 120 grams Powdered erythritol
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons Chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Rinse and drain the mixed berries, removing any stems or debris. If you are using strawberries, hull and chop them into smaller pieces.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the berries and lemon juice over medium heat. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the fruit has broken down and released its juices.
Gently mash the fruit with a fork or potato masher to your desired consistency; leaving small chunks of fruit is optional, depending on your texture preference.
Stir in the powdered erythritol and continue cooking for another 5 minutes, adjusting the sweetness to taste.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the chia seeds and vanilla extract.
Allow the mixture to cool for approximately 10 minutes. The chia seeds will thicken the jam as it cools.
Once the jam has thickened to your liking, transfer it to clean, sterilized jars.
Let the jam cool to room temperature before sealing and storing it in the refrigerator. It will keep for up to 2 weeks.
Enjoy your low-carb berry jam on toast, yogurt, or as a delicious cake filling!
