Ingredients You'll Need
One of my favorite things about this recipe is that you need less than 5 ingredients to make it!
Here's what to have on hand before you get started:
- Berries. You can use any mixture of berries to make your perfect jam without pectin.
- Sweetener. I use Truvia to keep this low in carbs and calories, but you can use any sweetener. Just remember that it will impact the nutritional content per serving.
- Black Chia Seeds. Work as a natural thickener.
- Lemon Juice. The acidity in the juice cuts some of the natural sweetness from the berries and helps balance the flavor of the homemade jam.
How To Make Sugar Free Jam
- In a saucepan, place water, berries, Truvia, water, and chia seeds. Smash the raspberries with the back of a spoon to create a rough purée.
- Cook over medium heat and stir until the mixture has thickened.
- Remove from the heat and stir in lemon juice.
Sugar Free Jam Tips And Tricks
- Substitute any berries of choice for the mixed berries.
- Add 1 tablespoon of water and use it as a compote to go with Coconut Pannacotta or other desserts.
- I keep this in the fridge since it doesn't contain a strong preservative.
- NOTE: Do not use pure Erythritol for this recipe as it tends to get grainy when refrigerated.
Where Can I Use This Sugar-Free Jam?
- This Jam goes well on many recipes such as my keto bread recipe, but it's actually also very good as a topping for my keto cream cheese cookies. The keto bread is vegetarian, gluten-free, yeast-free, and very filling and hearty, and the jam just takes it to the next level!
- This Mixed Berry Jam goes very well on my Low Carb Nut and Seed Bread. That bread is a little salty which actually makes this a great sweet and savory combination that I find irresistible.
- Also, by adding 1 tablespoon of water to recipe you can use this as a compote for my Coconut Panna Cotta recipe! This Panna Cotta recipe is sweet, creamy and made even better with the mixed berry compote!
How Long Does Keto Jam Last?
If your family can practice enough self-control not to eat this all in a day or two, the Sugar Free Jam stays good refrigerated for up to a week.

What is the purpose of the Truvia? Through the process of boiling, the fruit becomes more intense and wonderfully sweet. The Chia seeds are a wonderful choice for thickening.
