Pectin is required to set the jelly and blueberries, unfortunately, do not have much so we need to add some. Fruits like lemons or other citrus fruits have high concentrations of pectin, this is partly why there is often lemon juice or zest added to jam recipes and you can actually make your own pectin should you wish.
To make this sugar-free blueberry jam and keep carbs low, cook the blueberries until they soften and burst. Add low carb sweetener to taste. The most common sweeteners are Erythritol blends, xylitol, and stevia. Put the cooked blueberries in a blender to break up the skins. Pour the fruit puree into a jar, add chia seeds and stir.
Be it cheesecake or muffins, this blueberry jelly adds an extra layer of tart flavor to your favorite sweets with its mix of fresh blueberries and sugar. In a small sauce pan, add the blueberries and water. Cook on medium heat for about 5 minutes or until mixture starts to boil.
Strain through a jelly bag to capture the juice. Add the sugar and bring to a full boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly so it does not burn at the bottom. Add the pectin and hold at a boil for 1 full minute while stirring constantly. Skim off foam and pour into hot, sterile jelly jars and seal.
