Ingredients
- 4 cups mixed berries (such as strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)
- 1 cup Swerve granular sweetener
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 0.25 cup water
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the mixed berries thoroughly under cold water and remove any stems or leaves.
Step 2
In a large saucepan, combine the berries and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the berries begin to break down and release their juices, about 5-7 minutes.
Step 3
Using a potato masher or a fork, carefully mash the berries to your desired consistency. For a chunkier jam, mash less thoroughly.
Step 4
Stir in the Swerve granular sweetener and add the lemon juice to the berry mixture. Continue to cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens, about 5 minutes.
Step 5
Sprinkle the chia seeds evenly over the mixture and stir to combine. The chia seeds will help thicken the jam further as it cools.
Step 6
Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the jam to cool slightly before transferring it to sterilized glass jars or containers.
Step 7
Seal the jars and let the jam cool completely at room temperature. Store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
Step 8
Enjoy your low-carb mixed fruit jam on toast, yogurt, or as a sweet addition to various dishes!
