Low Carb Strawberry Jam

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 quarts / 6 cups / fresh berries
  • 1 cup unsweetened fruit juice concentrate I used diet cranberry
  • 2 teaspoons pectin powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon calcium powder mixed into 1/4 cup water
  • 3/4 teaspoon stevia extract I used the liquid

Instructions

  • Wash, rinse, and sterilize jars.
  • Clean berries, remove hulls, and mash or blend with a hand blender. You want about 3 cups of berries once they are mashed / blended.
  • Place in large pot.
  • Add 4 tsp calcium water to the berries and stir well.
  • In another small sauce pan bring the cranberry juice to a boil.
  • Place in a blender (or the large blending cup of the hand blender). Add 2 tsp of pectin powder and blend 1 - 2 minutes until powder is dissolved.
  • Bring fruit to a boil. Add the dissolved pectin. Stir vigorously 1 minute.
  • Stir in the stevia extract. Bring back to a boil and remove from heat.
  • Fill jars to 1/2 inch from the top. Screw on 2 piece lids.
  • Boil 5 minutes in a water bath.
  • Remove from water and let jars cool and wait for the pop that indicates they've sealed.

Notes

Put the lids in a small sauce pot and cover with water. Bring the water to a boil and then keep at a simmer until needed. Remove from water with tongs and place on the jar.
