CAN YOU EAT SUGAR FREE JAM ON KETO?

Yes, sugar free strawberry jam can be eaten on keto as long as you fit it in to your macros.  Look for one that has the least amount of carbs as possible, or make your own.

This keto strawberry jam recipe only has 2 net carbs per 2 tablespoons.

HOW DO YOU THICKEN THE JAM?

For this recipe we use Xanthan gum to thicken.  You only need 1 teaspoon to bring this to the right consistency.  Some other methods of thickening sugar free jam is by using chia seeds.  You want to avoid pectin because it has a lot of sugar.

IS THIS SUITABLE FOR CANNING?

I will leave this up to the experts though and point you to the knowledgeable people at Ball.  They will tell you step by step how to can this recipe.  To make the canning process worth your while, you will probably want to make several batches.

HOW TO MAKE KETO STRAWBERRY JAM

This keto jam recipe starts with pureeing whole strawberries.  You can use fresh or frozen and you can choose to leave them a little chunky.  Puree them in a food processor or blender.

The puree is then added to a small sauce pan with water, sugar free sweetener, lemon juice, and Xanthan gum for thickening.  Whisk that all together until the Xanthan gum and sweetener dissolve.

Then we bring the mixture to a boil and let it simmer until it is thick and jam like.  This will take about 5 to 10 minutes.

We like to serve this delicious jam with our 90 second bread recipe and butter.  At only 2 net carbs for 2 tablespoons, you can layer it on thick.  Enjoy!
