Ingredients

• 1 medium melon (such as cantaloupe or honeydew)
• 0.5 cup erythritol sweetener
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon gelatin powder
• 2 tablespoons water

Directions

Step 1

Cut the melon in half and remove the seeds. Peel and dice the melon into small cubes.

Step 2

In a large saucepan, combine the diced melon, erythritol sweetener, and lemon juice.

Step 3

Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir the mixture occasionally, allowing the sweetener to dissolve completely.

Step 4

Once the melon starts to release its juices and the mixture begins to simmer, reduce the heat to low and continue to cook for about 30 minutes or until the melon is soft and translucent.

Step 5

Using a potato masher or a fork, mash the melon pieces to achieve your desired texture for the confiture. For a smoother consistency, you may use an immersion blender.

Step 6

Stir in the vanilla extract and allow the mixture to simmer for another 5 minutes.

Step 7

In a small bowl, dissolve the gelatin powder in the water, and let it sit for a minute to bloom.

Step 8

Add the bloomed gelatin to the melon mixture and stir well until thoroughly combined.

Step 9

Cook for another 5 minutes while stirring continuously until the gelatin is completely dissolved, and the mixture thickens slightly.

Step 10

Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it cool slightly before transferring to sterilized jars.

Step 11

Allow the confiture to cool completely before sealing the jars and storing them in the refrigerator.

Step 12

Enjoy this low-carb confiture de melon as a spread on low-carb breads or use it as a topping for yogurt or desserts.
