Vegan Keto Strawberry Chia Seed Jam

Missing your jam? Give my keto and vegan-friendly recipe a shot. It's very simple. All you have to do is cook down the strawberries, they naturally release pectin - which causes them to gel. To add more nutrition, and to make it even more spreadable and gooey, I've also added chia seeds. Not sure what to use this jam on? Don't worry, I've got some ideas and upcoming recipes!

Vegan Keto Strawberry Chia Seed Jam

prep time: 10 minscook time: 35 minstotal time: 45 mins

ingredients:

• 2 pounds fresh strawberries
• 1/2 cup Swerve Confectioners
• 1/2 cup chia seeds
• 1 cup water

instructions:

1. Wash the strawberries.  Cut off the leafy tops then chop up all the berries.
2. Preheat a large skillet on your stove over medium heat.  Add the strawberries, then turn to medium-low.  Stir and cook until the strawberries start to turn color and soften.
3. Add the sweetener and water.  Continue to cook until the strawberries are so soft that they have started to fall apart and the water has somewhat reduced.
4. Use your cooking utensil to mash the berries onto the side of the pan to make sure they've broken up into small chunks.
5. Stir in the chia seeds then remove the pan from the heat.  Stir a bit more and allow to cool.  The jam will look darker and have thickened up.
6. You can store this in the fridge for up to a week.  The size of your batch may be different from mine.  To get the most accurate serving size measure the full batch, then divide into tablespoons.  (16 tbsp per cup.)  I estimated about 48 tablespoons per batch.

NOTES:

You can substitute whatever sweetener you like, and of course, add more if it's not sweet enough for your tastes.

I aim to keep sides or snacks 6 net carbs or less, and meals around 4-8 carbs. I do around 30 net per day. If you need to lower the net carbs on these recipes I would decrease the size of the portions to do it.
