Keto Strawberry Jam Recipe With Chia Seeds – Easy Homemade Low Carb and Sugar Free Sweet Jam Recipes with the video tutorial.
Keto Strawberry Jam Recipe
This keto strawberry jam recipe is really quick and easy to prepare and a jar lasts well in the fridge.
The keto jam recipe only has three simple ingredients, all that are low in net carbs – strawberries, chia seeds and stevia.
The simple recipe is thickened thanks to the wonder of nutritious chia seeds – which are one of the best high fiber keto foods. You can use black chia seeds, white chia seeds, ground chia seeds or grind the chia seeds yourself in a food processor if you’d prefer a smooth textured low-carb strawberry jam.
To make the easy recipe for the chia seed jam, simply heat a bag of frozen strawberries over medium heat until easily mashable.
I tend to use frozen vegetables because they are much cheaper than fresh strawberries. But, if you come into a bounty of fresh juicy strawberries during strawberry season then feel free to use them instead.
Then, mash the strawberries until smooth and stir through chia seeds and stevia. (Or a low carb sweetener of your choice, such as monk fruit sweetener, to avoid any unnecessary added sugar that usually appears in regular jam.)
Have a taste of the sugar free strawberry jam recipe to see if it’s sweet enough to your liking. I find that a 1/4 cup of stevia per 500g/1.1lbs of berries is the perfect sweetness for me to balance the natural sweetness from the fruit juice of the berries.
You may want to use a third or a half a cup to make it sweet enough for you.
If you’d prefer a smooth textured delicious keto strawberry jam over a chunky jam, then pass the delicious jam through a sieve or blend it when cool in a blender or food processor to create a smooth strawberry puree.
Once the low carb strawberry jam has cooled, move the cooked jam to a mason jar and then store in the fridge.
This keto jam is perfect to use in all of your favorite ways you usually enjoy your favorite hams such as mixed through smoothies, low carb yogurt or as a topping for keto breakfast cookies, keto waffles, pancakes or spread on keto bread with peanut butter or almond butter.
