You don’t have to be “keto” to enjoy this sugarless Keto Strawberry Jam!

My specific health situation requires that I be more low carb.  So right now, I’m keto.  Once my body has been adapted to that for a while I’ll be adding in a few healthy carbs, but I’ll likely remain low carb for the rest of my life.

So, it’s important for me to find recipes that will help me maintain a low carb lifestyle.  And while I rarely eat bread (I try to find good keto or low carb options), it’s nice to have something fun to enjoy it with. (Read: I have to find things to disguise how gross most low carb breads are.)

Admittedly, this was not a hit with my twelve year old son.  We’ve been trying to get him on a diet that is way lower in sugar and grains for his own health issues.  He requested that I find a keto strawberry jam recipe, so this was for him.  Not a hit.

With him.

However, I really like it.  It tastes very fresh and clean to me and reminds me of summer.  I can’t wait to try it with some natural peanut butter or almond butter!

You can use any sugar substitute that you would like, but I find that the powdered Swerve is really good.  Whatever you choose, just make sure that you check online for equivalent measures.  Some non-caloric sweeteners are “sweeter” than others and you may need to use less.  Glucomannan is a thickener.  Some stores may carry this, but I got mine on Amazon.

If you’re lucky enough to be able to handle gluten, try putting some of this jam on some delicious hot rolls!

Keto Strawberry Jam

By:
Ingredients
  • 6 cups freeze dried strawberries plus 1 1/2 cups water
  • OR
  • 2 pounds fresh strawberries (cut off stems and remove hulls)
  • 1/2 cup powdered erythritol (I use Swerve brand)
  • 1 tsp. lemon juice
  • 1 tsp. glucomannan
Directions
Step 1
If using freeze dried berries, allow the fruit to refresh with the water in a bowl for 10 minutes, stirring and crushing often.
Step 2
Place berries in a medium saucepan. (Use a potato masher to break up fresh strawberries.)
Step 3
Cook over medium-low heat for 5-10 minutes or until soft. It should be juicy and the berry pieces should be small.
Step 4
Add remaining ingredients and stir well.
Step 5
Spoon into an airtight container and chill in the fridge. Jam will thicken as it cools.
