Instant Low Carb Jam
This made roughly two Bon Maman jars of jam. It's fab on just about anything; Burgen toast, greek yoghurt, a spoon.... and it's the freshest jam you'll ever taste. You may need to add a bit more sweetener to taste, depending on the tartness of your berries.
Ingredients
350g/12 oz frozen raspberries
50g/20z erythritol
3 tbsp water
3 tbsp chia seeds
Instructions
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine berries, erythritol and water.
Bring to a boil and cook until berries are soft enough to mash with a fork. Mash to desired consistency.
Remove from heat and stir in chia seeds. Let cool.
Transfer to a glass jar and refrigerate 2 to 3 hours to set.
Keep refrigerated.
1.7g carbs to 1tbsp jam.
You could use any frozen berries, but remember that the carb count will be different. You can also use xylitol sweetener but it will form crystals in the jam as it doesn't remain in liquid form. Stevia can be used to taste after the berries and water are cooked.
