Hi
@badcat - do you mind sharing your recipe for jam please ?
They are all similar but probably need different amounts of erythritol depending on the sharpness of the base fruit
This is how I made the blackberry one
260g blackberries roughly divided into 200g portion and 60g portion
Juice of 1-1/2 lemons
2 1/2 tbsp chia seeds
Enough Erythritol to achieve the level of sweetness you want ( I used 2- 3 tbsp adding as The cooking went along)
1) put the larger prtion of blackberries, and lemon juice in a pan with enough water to barely cover the berries, cook until fruit is soft, checking sweetness and adding erythritol as you go along
2) put the other blackberries in another pan with some water, cook until just beginning to soften but still whole, drain and reserve
3) add the chia seeds to the contents of pan 1) then put in a blender until the chia seeds and fruit are well blended ( I use a vitamix which takes about a minute, other blenders may take longer
4) allow to cool - the jam will continue to thicken as it cools
5) when cool enough, add the reserved whole blackberries, then bottle
Works fine with raspberries, blackberries, strawberries and blueberries although the latter 2 maybe need a little less water. Im going to try it with apricots later
The berry ones come out 10cal and 1g carbs per 10g serving.I like it on buttered low carb toast or mixed with some greek yogurt and toasted almonds
