Ingredients

• 500 grams fresh strawberries
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 3 tablespoons powdered erythritol (or other sugar substitute)
• 100 milliliters unsweetened apple juice
• 1.5 teaspoons powdered unflavored gelatin
• 2 tablespoons water

Directions

Step 1

Wash the strawberries thoroughly and remove the stems. Slice the strawberries into halves or quarters, depending on their size, to ensure even cooking.

Step 2

In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the strawberries, lemon juice, and unsweetened apple juice. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally.

Step 3

Allow the strawberries to cook for about 10 minutes, or until they soften and start releasing their natural juices. Use a potato masher or the back of a spoon to gently mash the strawberries into a chunky consistency. For a smoother texture, an immersion blender can be used carefully.

Step 4

Stir in the powdered erythritol and continue cooking for an additional 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the erythritol dissolves completely and the flavors meld together.

Step 5

In a small bowl, combine the gelatin and water. Let it sit for 1-2 minutes to bloom.

Step 6

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the bloomed gelatin until it is completely dissolved in the hot jam mixture.

Step 7

Allow the jam to cool slightly. Transfer it to sterilized glass jars or airtight containers while still warm. Leave about 1/2 inch of space at the top of the jars for expansion if freezing.

Step 8

Let the jam cool to room temperature, then secure the lids and refrigerate for at least 6 hours to set. Alternatively, you can freeze the jam for longer storage.

Step 9

Once set, the jam is ready to use. Spread it on toast, use it in desserts, or enjoy it as a topping for yogurt or oatmeal!
