How to Make Low Carb Strawberry Chia Seed Jam
Ingredients
- Strawberries
- Swerve confectioners
- Lemon juice
- Chia seeds
*Exact measurements are listed in the recipe card below.
Preparation
Add the strawberries and lemon juice in a saucepan and cook over medium heat for a 3-4 minutes, stirring often.
Then add in the swerve and cook for another 2 minutes.
Mash up the strawberries as chunky as you like.
Turn off the heat and stir in the chia seeds until well combined. If your jam isn’t quite thick enough, add in more chia seeds, but keep in mind, it will thicken a bit more in the fridge.
Allow to cool on the counter for 20 minutes, then refrigerate to thicken for 1-2 hours.
Once it has thickened, if you prefer a smoother, less chunky texture (like I do), you can puree it in a food processor.
Store up to one week in the fridge or freeze for up to 3 months.

for the jam recipes. is there a preservative I can use so the jam last longer in the refrigerator?
I haven’t experimented with that myself, so I can’t say for sure.
Can Stevia be used instead?
Sure, you can add drops of stevia to taste.
Can you can this recipe?
I don’t see why not!
What is the serving size? Can anyone clarify?
How much is in a serving, a tbsp?

I tried this with fresh frozen peaches from this past summer. It tastes delicious, Can’t wait to see what it’s like in the morning after it spends the night in the fridge!
