Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh cherries, pitted and halved
- 0.5 cup Powdered erythritol
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 0.5 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Start by washing the cherries thoroughly under running water. Pit the cherries and cut them in half.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the pitted cherries, powdered erythritol, lemon juice, and water.
Step 3
Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes or until the cherries start to break down and release their juices.
Step 4
Using a potato masher or the back of a spoon, mash the cherries to your desired consistency. If you prefer a smoother jam, use an immersion blender.
Step 5
Stir in the chia seeds and vanilla extract. The chia seeds will help thicken the jam as it cools.
Step 6
Continue to cook for another 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the jam has thickened.
Step 7
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the jam cool for about 10 minutes.
Step 8
Transfer the jam to a clean jar with a tight-fitting lid. Allow it to cool completely before refrigerating.
Step 9
The jam will continue to thicken as it cools and should be stored in the refrigerator. It's best used within 2 weeks.
