Ingredients
- 2 cups Mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries)
- 0.5 cup Erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.25 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the mixed berries with water. If using frozen berries, it is not necessary to thaw them beforehand.
Step 2
Heat the berries over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the berries soften and release their juices. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
Step 3
Using a potato masher or the back of a spoon, carefully mash the berries to your desired consistency. For a smoother jam, blend the mixture with an immersion blender.
Step 4
Add the erythritol or monk fruit sweetener and lemon juice to the berry mixture, stirring well to combine.
Step 5
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for about 10 minutes. Stir occasionally during this time.
Step 6
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the chia seeds and vanilla extract. The chia seeds will act as a natural thickener.
Step 7
Let the jam sit for about 10 minutes to allow the chia seeds to thicken the jam further. As it cools, it will continue to thicken to a jam-like consistency.
Step 8
Transfer the jam to a glass jar or an airtight container, and let it cool completely before refrigerating. The jam should keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Step 9
Enjoy your keto-friendly berry jam on low-carb bread, pancakes, or as a topping for yogurt!
