Ingredients
- 2 cups ripe papaya
- 1 cup granulated erythritol
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup water
Directions
Step 1
Start by peeling the papaya, removing the seeds, and chopping it into small cubes. You should have about 2 cups of cubed papaya.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine the papaya cubes and water. Cook over medium heat until the papaya starts to soften, about 5 minutes.
Step 3
Use a potato masher or fork to mash the softened papaya into a smooth pulp. You can also use a blender for a smoother texture.
Step 4
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the granulated erythritol, lemon juice, and chia seeds. Mix well to combine all the ingredients.
Step 5
Continue cooking the mixture on low heat, stirring occasionally, for another 15-20 minutes or until the jam thickens to your desired consistency.
Step 6
Once thickened, remove the jam from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Ensure it is well incorporated.
Step 7
Allow the jam to cool completely before transferring it to a clean, airtight jar or container.
Step 8
Store the jam in the refrigerator. It will continue to thicken slightly as it cools and can be kept refrigerated for up to 2 weeks.
