Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized Quince
- 4 cups Water
- 1.5 cups Erythritol sweetener
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons Chia seeds
Instructions
Rinse and peel the quince. Cut the quince into small cubes, discarding the core and seeds.
In a large pot, combine the diced quince and water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the quince simmer for about 30-45 minutes, or until the fruit becomes soft and starts to break down.
Remove the pot from heat. Using an immersion blender, puree the cooked quince until smooth. You can also use a regular blender, working in batches if necessary.
Return the quince puree to the pot and place it back on the stove over low heat.
Stir in the erythritol sweetener, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Mix well until the sweetener dissolves completely.
Add the chia seeds to the mixture. Stir thoroughly to ensure they are evenly distributed.
Let the jam simmer for an additional 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it reaches a jam-like consistency. The chia seeds will help thicken the mixture.
Remove the pot from the heat. Allow the jam to cool slightly before transferring it to sterilized jars.
Seal the jars tightly and store the jam in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
