Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
- 0.25 cup granulated erythritol
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup water
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the blueberries thoroughly under cold water and drain well.
Step 2
Combine the blueberries, granulated erythritol, and water in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat.
Step 3
Stirring frequently, bring the mixture to a low boil. Mash the blueberries with the back of a spoon or a potato masher to release their juices.
Step 4
Once mashed, lower the heat to a simmer and let the mixture cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. This helps the flavors meld and thicken.
Step 5
Add the lemon juice, chia seeds, and vanilla extract to the pan. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
Step 6
Continue simmering for another 5-10 minutes, until the mixture reaches your desired thickness. The chia seeds will help thicken the preserve naturally.
Step 7
Remove the pot from heat and allow the preserve to cool in the saucepan for about 5 minutes.
Step 8
Transfer the blueberry preserve into a clean, airtight container or jar.
Step 9
Once completely cooled, store the preserve in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
Step 10
Enjoy this low carb blueberry preserve on low-carb bread, mixed into yogurt, or as a topping for desserts.
