Ingredients

• 500 grams Fresh strawberries
• 100 grams Erythritol
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Water

Directions

Step 1

Start by washing the strawberries thoroughly and removing the stems. Cut strawberries into quarters.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the strawberries, lemon juice, erythritol, and water.

Step 3

Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the strawberries begin to release their juices and the erythritol dissolves. This should take about 5-7 minutes.

Step 4

Use a potato masher or the back of a spoon to mash the strawberries to your desired consistency. Continue to cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the mixture to thicken slightly.

Step 5

Stir in the chia seeds and vanilla extract. The chia seeds will help to thicken the jam further as it cools.

Step 6

Cook for another 5-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture becomes thick and jam-like.

Step 7

Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the jam cool. As it cools, it will continue to thicken.

Step 8

Once cooled, transfer the jam to a clean, airtight jar or container. Store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
