Ingredients
- 2 cups (diced) Rhubarb
- 0.5 cup Water
- 0.5 cup Granulated Erythritol
- 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
- 2 tablespoons Chia Seeds
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
Directions
Step 1
Clean the rhubarb stalks thoroughly to remove any dirt. Trim the ends and dice the rhubarb into small pieces, approximately 0.5-inch cubes.
Step 2
In a medium-sized saucepan, add the diced rhubarb and water. Place the pan over medium heat and bring to a gentle simmer.
Step 3
Once simmering, reduce the heat to low and cook for about 10 minutes, frequently stirring, until the rhubarb is soft and begins to break down.
Step 4
Stir in the granulated erythritol and continue to cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the sweetener to dissolve completely.
Step 5
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the lemon juice, chia seeds, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly to combine all ingredients.
Step 6
Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes, allowing the chia seeds to thicken the jam.
Step 7
Once thickened, transfer the rhubarb jam to a clean jar or airtight container. Allow it to cool to room temperature before sealing.
Step 8
Store the jam in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Enjoy it spread on low-carb bread, mixed into yogurt, or as a topping for your favorite dessert!
