Ingredients
- 2 cups (chopped) Rhubarb stalks
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 1 cup Granulated erythritol
- 1 cup Water
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
Directions
Step 1
Begin by washing the rhubarb stalks thoroughly under cold water. Trim the ends and chop the stalks into small, even pieces, roughly 1/2 inch thick.
Step 2
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the chopped rhubarb, lemon juice, erythritol, and water. Stir to mix them well.
Step 3
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Let it simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the rhubarb has broken down and the mixture has thickened. Stir more frequently as it thickens to prevent sticking or burning.
Step 4
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract for added flavor.
Step 5
Add the chia seeds to the mixture and stir them in thoroughly. The seeds will help the jam to gel and thicken as it cools.
Step 6
Allow the jam to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes. As it cools, stir the mixture occasionally to ensure even distribution of the chia seeds.
Step 7
Once cooled, transfer the jam to sterilized glass jars with tight-fitting lids. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Step 8
Enjoy this keto-friendly rhubarb jam spread on almond flour bread, mixed into Greek yogurt, or as a topping for your favorite keto pancakes.
