Ingredients
- 1000 grams Fresh plums
- 120 grams Erythritol
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 120 milliliters Water
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Wash the plums thoroughly under running water. Cut them into quarters, remove the pits, and place them in a large saucepan.
Step 2
Add the water to the saucepan with the plums and cook on medium heat until the plums are soft, about 15-20 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Step 3
Once the plums are soft, use an immersion blender to puree the mixture until smooth. Alternatively, you can transfer the mixture to a blender and blend until smooth, then return it to the saucepan.
Step 4
Add erythritol, lemon juice, and vanilla extract to the plum puree. Stir everything well to combine.
Step 5
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for an additional 20 minutes, stirring frequently. The mixture should start to thicken slightly.
Step 6
Add the chia seeds to the mixture and continue to cook for another 5 minutes, stirring continuously. The chia seeds will help the jam to thicken further as it cools.
Step 7
Taste the jam and adjust sweetness by adding more erythritol if desired. Remember, the sweetness will also enhance as the jam cools.
Step 8
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the jam cool for about 10-15 minutes. As it cools, it will thicken even more.
Step 9
Once cooled, transfer the jam into sterilized jars and seal tightly.
Step 10
Store in the refrigerator and use within 2 weeks. Enjoy your homemade keto plum jam as a spread on keto bread, a topping for yogurt, or however you prefer!
