Instant low-carb raspberry jam

Yes, friends – there is such a thing as low-carb jam! And we can’t wait to tell you how to whip some up. Naturally sweet raspberries combined with chia seeds and just a pinch of vanilla create a beautifully intense spread. And guess what? It has about 10% of the carbs in regular jam. Divine!

    Funny! I have 50 blueberry bushes, and while they are in season, I want to use some...most I give away. I have a wonderful "pancake" recipe that I use (the main ingredients are flaxseed meal, coconut and sour cream!) and I was making a "syrup" that has butter and maple extract, but I wanted a change, because it would solidify when refrigerated. I kept the same idea, though, and melted a stick of butter and then added anywhere from a pint to a quart of berries. (My bad: I do also add Swerve in small quantities. ) This sauce is always ready, and I don't have to heat it back up to get it so it's not a solid brick. I use it on an easy cheesecake recipe that I make once in a while. Sometimes, I just go in and have a spoonful of blueberry sauce in the middle of the afternoon, and that will tide me over. The most important thing I've found is that I need to have things ready when I get hungry. This has kept me honest and on LCHF without veering off: a handful of nuts, a bite of cheese, a few olives or a glass of almond milk with a splash of vanilla and I'm good to go. I love how I feel sated with this "diet," yet when I get hungry, it seems to come on remarkably fast and deep! That is the only time when my resolve wavers. If I don't eat soon, bad things could happen!

    My guess is that there is insufficient fat in your diet? To reduce the fast and deep hunger. Perhaps more fat improves fat burning process...better keto adaptation?

    Ready for a treat? Toast one of the low carb rolls (recipe found on Diet Doctor), spread with a little butter and a generous amount of full-fat cream cheese, and drizzle with some of this raspberry jam. Close your eyes, and you can imagine that you are eating a decadent raspberry-cream pastry bought fresh at a French bakery. Yep, it's that good. I did add a little erythritol to the jam to sweeten it up.

    Does anybody know how long this keeps for in an airtight container in the fridge? I made some with local damsons as they are a very seasonal fruit here in the UK and aren't in the shops for very long and I really like their tart taste :)

    50/50 mix of raspberries and blueberries is lovely, not too tart, easy to do even I can make it! So much better than normal jam.

    How long does it stay fresh in the fridge?
