Ingredients

• 4 medium red bell peppers
• 0.5 cup apple cider vinegar
• 0.75 cup erythritol sweetener
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1 packet unflavored gelatin
• 0.25 cup water
• 0.25 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

Begin by washing and drying the red bell peppers. Cut them in half, remove the seeds and membranes, and then dice the peppers into small pieces.

Step 2

In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the diced red bell peppers, apple cider vinegar, erythritol sweetener, lime juice, red pepper flakes, and salt.

Step 3

Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the peppers soften.

Step 4

While the pepper mixture is simmering, sprinkle the unflavored gelatin over the 0.25 cup of water in a small bowl. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to allow the gelatin to bloom.

Step 5

After the peppers have softened, remove the saucepan from heat and use an immersion blender to blend the mixture until smooth. Alternatively, carefully transfer the mixture to a blender and blend until smooth.

Step 6

Return the saucepan to low heat and add the bloomed gelatin to the pepper mixture. Stir continuously until the gelatin fully dissolves, ensuring there are no lumps.

Step 7

Let the jam simmer on low for another 5-10 minutes, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens.

Step 8

Remove the saucepan from heat and let the keto red pepper jam cool to room temperature.

Step 9

Transfer the cooled jam into sterilized jars with tight-fitting lids. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Enjoy your keto red pepper jam as a condiment or a topping!
