Ingredients
- 1000 grams fresh strawberries
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 4 teaspoons powdered pectin
- 100 grams granulated erythritol
- 120 milliliters water
Directions
Step 1
Wash and hull the strawberries, then cut them into halves or quarters depending on their size.
Step 2
Place the strawberries in a large saucepan over medium heat. Mash them using a potato masher or fork until you reach your desired consistency (smooth or chunky).
Step 3
Add lemon juice to the saucepan and stir to combine with the strawberries.
Step 4
In a small bowl, mix the powdered pectin with the granulated erythritol.
Step 5
Gradually sprinkle the pectin and erythritol mixture over the strawberries, continuously stirring to avoid clumping.
Step 6
Add water to the saucepan and increase the heat to high. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly.
Step 7
Once boiling, continue to cook for 1-2 minutes while stirring, then reduce the heat to medium-low and allow the jam to simmer for an additional 5-10 minutes until it thickens slightly.
Step 8
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the jam cool for about 10 minutes.
Step 9
Pour the jam into sterilized jars, leaving a small space at the top. Seal the jars while the jam is still warm.
Step 10
Allow the jam to cool completely at room temperature before storing in the refrigerator. The jam will continue to thicken as it cools.
