This Blackberry Chia Jam, however, is a great alternative when we just want a small amount, and it's low-carb! The chia seeds will soften, create a gel, and work almost magically to set the jam in about 10 - 15 minutes, very much like sugar and pectin do in a traditional jam recipe.
Combine 1/2 cup water and blackberries in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring and mashing as berries soften. Reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer for 5 minutes. Line a mesh sieve with a jelly bag or nut milk bag and place over a bowl.
This recipe for Low Sugar Blackberry Jam is easy and delicious. It tastes of fresh sun-ripened fruit and late summer days. Jam making was not on my list of to-do’s last week but it definitely got the number one spot in my bullet journal when one of my dearest friends (Jeri) called and asked if I’d like some blackberries from her bushes.
This easy and delicious keto and low-carb jam really hits the sweet spot! 1 cup fresh berries of your choice (I used 1/4 cup each, strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, & blueberries) preferred sweetener, optional (equivalent to 1-2 tablespoons sugar or to taste) Place berries and sweetener in a small pot over medium-high heat.
