SUGAR FREE STRAWBERRY JIFFY JAM

Steps:

• In a large saucepan crush strawberries. Add water and gelatin, mixing well.

• Pour into jars, allow to cool and then cover. Can be stored in refrigerator for 1 week, or frozen for several weeks.

SUGAR-FREE STRAWBERRY JAM

Steps:

• In a saucepan, bring soda to a boil. Remove from the heat; stir in gelatin until dissolved. Stir in strawberries and lemon juice. Pour into jars or plastic containers; cover and refrigerate up to 3 weeks. Do not freeze.

SUGARLESS JAM

Steps:

• Drain ALL of the juice from the pineapple, but keep the juice.
• Process all ingredients in blender or food processor until smooth. Use pulses, frequently scraping away from blades.
• If necessary, add back a tablespoon or so of the juice, it won't affect the calorie count very much but you don't want to make your "jam" runny.
• Keeps for months in a tightly closed container in the fridge.
• Great for filled cookies, because since there is no sugar it won't bubble out!

SUGAR FREE GRAPE JAM

Steps:

• Cut the grapes in half, and add them to a pot. Put it on medium heat, cover with a lid and leave the grapes to warm up. They will simmer as the grapes start to soften.
• After about 20 minutes they will have softened significantly. Use the back of a spoon, or ideally a potato masher, to mash the grapes into a jam like consistency.
• Leave the jam to simmer for another 10 minutes, then remove it from the heat. Transfer it to glass containers, or leave it to chill slightly if you plan to store it in plastic containers.

SUGAR FREE STRAWBERRY JAM

Steps:

• Chop the strawberries and place them in a saucepan together with the water.
• Bring to the boil (lid on), then turn down the heat medium and let it bubble away for 15 minutes. Only add the lemon juice if you want to store the jam for longer than 1 week - it prevents the growth of bacteria.
• Mash the strawberries with a potato masher (or with a fork), then continue to cook on low-medium for another 30 minutes until reduced by half. You want it to bubble peacefully. Bubbles will become smaller as the liquid evaporates. Stir regularly with a spatula to prevent the jam from burning. Towards the end of cooking, stir constantly.
• Taste. If necessary, sweeten with 1 tbsp of powdered erythritol.
• Add the ground chia seeds and stir. Cool and fill into a sterilised jar. Store in the fridge.

HONEY SWEETENED BLUEBERRY JAM

Steps:

• Add the berries to a large, wide pot. The lower the better.
• Mash well.
• Stir in honey and lemon juice and allow to rest for a few minutes until the honey dissolves.
• Bring the berry mixture to a boil and cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• When the jam has thickened, pour it into clean, hot jars.
• For canning, process in a hot water bath for ten minutes.

SUGARLESS PLUM JAM

Steps:

• Combine the plums and apple juice in a heavy saucepan or small stockpot. Cook, uncovered, over moderate heat until thick, about 1 hour. (Stir occasionally so it doesn't stick or burn.).
• Ladle into hot sterilized jars and seal. Allow to cool thoroughly.
• Keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 months.

HOW TO MAKE A SHELF STABLE SUGAR FREE BLUE BERRY JAM ( PLUS IT'S LOW CARB!)

Steps:

• Wash jars, bands, and lids. Place jam jars in water bath canner filled 1/2 way with water. Bring water to a boil. Turn off the burner and leave jars in canner until ready to use
• Place lids in water in a small saucepan and heat until water simmers. keep lids in warm water until ready to use.
• If using fresh blueberries, clean & destem before adding to a large saucepan. If using frozen measure and just pour right in.
• Add lemon juice and calcium water and blend in well.
• In a bowl add allulose and pectin and blend well.
• Heat the blueberries and as they start to soften, mash with the back of a fork, or use a potato masher. I like to leave a few whole berries in my jam, but mash to the consistency that you like. Bring berries to a boil.
• Add pectin-sweetener mixture, continuing to mix for 1 to 2 minutes to dissolve the pectin while the jam comes back up to a boil. Boil for 1 full minute once the jam reaches the boiling stage.
• Fill jam jars to ¼" to the top. Clean rims with a clean cloth. Add lids.
• Add jars to the water bath canner when the water in the canner reaches a full boil. Boil 10 full minutes (add 1 minute more for every 1,000 ft. above sea level).
• Remove from water. Let jars cool undisturbed for 24 hours.
• Test for seal, if a jar did not seal, you can reprocess it again in the canner for 10 full minutes, or add that jar to the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.

TRULY SUGAR-FREE STRAWBERRY JAM

Steps:

• Puree the thawed strawberries in a food processor or bender. *If you are using fresh strawberries please see notes below.
• Whisk the water, lemon juice and arrowroot powder in a medium saucepan then add the strawberries puree. Bring mixture to a boil slowly over medium heat, stirring frequently.
• Lower heat to medium low and simmer until it thickens, approximately 50 minutes. As it begins to thicken stir frequently to avoid burning. You will know it is done when you draw a rubber spatula through the center and it creates a hole that stays open for a few seconds and then fills back in. Once this happens remove from the heat and allow it to cool before storing. As it cools, it will continue to thicken. If your jam becomes too thick, add a little water. You can also return it to the stove and cook it longer if you want a thicker jam.

SUGAR-FREE PLUM JAM
