Ingredients
- 500 grams Fresh strawberries
- 50 grams Granulated erythritol (or preferred low-carb sweetener)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons Xanthan gum
- 2 tablespoons Water
Directions
Step 1
Wash and hull the strawberries, then chop them into small pieces for easier cooking.
Step 2
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the chopped strawberries, erythritol, and lemon juice. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the strawberries begin to release their juices (about 5 minutes).
Step 3
Use a potato masher or the back of a spoon to gently mash the strawberries to your desired consistency. For a smoother texture, you can use an immersion blender to blend the mixture partially.
Step 4
Lower the heat to medium-low and let the mixture simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. The mixture should thicken as it cooks.
Step 5
In a small bowl, whisk together the xanthan gum and water to create a slurry.
Step 6
Stir the xanthan gum slurry into the strawberry mixture and continue cooking for another 3-5 minutes to allow the confiture to thicken further.
Step 7
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Allow the mixture to cool slightly.
Step 8
Transfer the confiture to a sterilized glass jar and let it cool to room temperature before sealing tightly and storing in the refrigerator.
Step 9
The strawberry confiture can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Enjoy it as a topping for low-carb bread, yogurt, or desserts!
