What Is The Best Fruit Jam To Make

Who am I to tell you what the best jam is? The joy of food is exploring new flavors and finding which your favorite is by trying them all!

Here are a few ideas for different low carb jams:

• Strawberry
• Blackberry
• Raspberry
• Blueberry
• Mixed Berry

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:

• 1 cup Fresh Mixed Berries- The berries are the star of the jam. They provide natural sweetness, vibrant color, and fruity flavor. Thawing frozen berries releases extra juices, which helps the jam cook down smoothly without needing added sugar.
• 1 tablespoon Truvia- This sugar-free sweetener adds just enough sweetness to enhance the berries without overpowering them. Truvia keeps the jam low-carb and diabetic-friendly while still tasting like traditional jam.
• 1 tablespoon Water- Water helps the berries start softening and breaking down as they heat, preventing them from scorching in the early stages of cooking.
• 1 tablespoon Black Chia Seeds- Chia seeds act as the thickening agent. When they absorb liquid, they swell and create a jam-like, gelled texture. No pectin or sugar needed. They also add fiber and healthy omega-3s.
• 2 teaspoons Lemon Juice- Lemon juice brightens the flavor, balances the sweetness, and helps preserve the color of the jam. Its natural acidity also enhances the overall fruit flavor.

How To Make Sugar Free Jam

1. 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.
2. Cook over medium heat and stir until the mixture has thickened.
3. Remove from the heat and stir in lemon juice.

Tips And Tricks

Here are some helpful tips and tricks for making sugar-free jam, so you get perfectly thick, fruity, and naturally sweet results every time.

• 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.

Variations

Here are some delicious and easy variations for making sugar free jam, perfect for switching up flavors, using seasonal fruit, or adding fun twists to your favorite spread.

• Strawberry-Only Jam- Use 1 cup strawberries for a classic, bright, sweet jam. Add a splash of vanilla for extra depth.
• Blueberry Lemon Jam- Use 1 cup blueberries and increase lemon juice to 1 tablespoon. Add a bit of lemon zest for vibrant flavor.
• Raspberry Chia Jam- Swap berries for raspberries and add an extra teaspoon of sweetener to balance their natural tartness.

What To Eat With Sugar Free Jam

Here are some tasty and versatile ideas for what to eat with sugar-free jam, perfect for adding fruity flavor to breakfasts, snacks, and desserts without the added sugar:

• 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 and low carb crackers. 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 the 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.

Can You Freeze It?

Yes, you can absolutely freeze sugar free jam, and it freezes very well because it doesn't rely on traditional sugar for preservation.

Once the jam has cooled completely, transfer it into freezer-safe containers or jars, leaving a little room at the top for expansion. It will maintain its quality for up to 3 months in the freezer.

When you're ready to use it, simply thaw the jam overnight in the refrigerator.
