Strawberry Jam (Gluten-free & Low-Carb)

Leave a comment

This fruity jam is a little more on the thin side but so, SO good! Top a cake with it, some pancakes in the morning for a fruity breakfast or even just on some whipped cream as a nice evening treat!

Ingredients

  • 1 package  of overly ripe strawberries, chopped*
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 1/3 cup sweetener, or to taste (I use Swerve sweetener)

*can be replaced with other berries (raspberries, blackberries, blueberries), if you prefer but water and sweetener quantities may vary

Place strawberries and water in a sauce pan and place on medium heat. When strawberries are soft, mash using a potato masher. Add the sweetener and mix. Turn the heat down and let the sauce simmer till it thickens

Tip

Make this with the strawberries that are starting to go mushy in your fridge and store in a mason jar.

Fall is one of my favorite times of the year and one of my favorite berries is also in season during that time – cranberries!!

Here is a lovely seasonal jam option for all you keto and paleo lovers out there.

Lemon Cheesecake with cranberry Jam

In the stove top, add the cranberries and water to a medium sized pot. When the cranberries soften, use a potato masher to crush the cranberries. Add the sweetener and mix. Add the psyllium husk and mix. Let simmer until thicker. Fill a 16oz mason jar.
