Ingredients

• 500 grams Fresh blueberries
• 100 grams Granulated erythritol sweetener
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 3 tablespoons Chia seeds
• 60 ml Water

Directions

Step 1

Start by rinsing the blueberries under cold water and removing any stems or leaves.

Step 2

In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the blueberries, erythritol sweetener, and water.

Step 3

Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.

Step 4

Once simmering, reduce the heat to medium-low and continue to cook for about 15 minutes, stirring frequently until the blueberries have softened and burst.

Step 5

Use a potato masher or fork to gently mash the blueberries to your desired consistency. If you prefer a smoother preserve, you can use an immersion blender.

Step 6

Add the lemon juice and vanilla extract to the saucepan. Stir to combine evenly.

Step 7

Sprinkle in the chia seeds while stirring constantly to ensure they are well incorporated. Continue to cook for 5 more minutes, allowing the chia seeds to thicken the preserve.

Step 8

Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the preserve cool to room temperature. The chia seeds will continue to thicken the mixture as it cools.

Step 9

Once cooled, transfer the preserve to a sterilized glass jar or airtight container. Seal the jar and refrigerate.

Step 10

Allow the preserve to sit in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving to maximize the thickening power of the chia seeds. The preserve will keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
