Servings: 10 spoons
Calories: 5kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup strawberries chopped
- ½ tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp powdered sweetener, I use this brand
- 1-2 tbsp chia seeds, I use this brand
- ¼ tsp vanilla extract (optional), I use this brand
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, put the strawberries sliced into small cubes (the bigger the cubes, the bigger the remaining pieces in the jam will be. So, if you don’t want a lumpy jam, try to make these relatively small), xylitol and vanilla if using over medium heat.
- Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally and breaking down the strawberries with your spoon.
- Remove from heat once the strawberries are to your liking - you can leave them a little chunkier, or break them down completely.
- Stir in the lemon juice and 1 tablespoon of chia seeds. Let sit for 5 minutes.
- Check the thickness, and if necessary add another 1/2 - 1 tablespoon of chia seeds. It will thicken a little further upon refrigeration.
- After about 15 minutes, your jam will be ready! You can eat some now or store it in a small
jam jar. Enjoy!
Notes
[bs_icon name="glyphicon glyphicon-heart"] Tip: If using frozen strawberries, thaw them and put half of the bag in a medium saucepan. If using fresh strawberries, put the strawberries in the saucepan along with 2 tablespoons of water. If you are using granular sweetener you can add it to a spice grinder and grind until powdered. Be careful when removing the lid so that it does not go all over the place.
