A quick and easy keto-friendly sugar-free berry jam made with monk fruit sweetener, perfect for low-carb diets and bursting with real berry flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups mixed berries (fresh or frozen; strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
  • 1/3 cup monk fruit sweetener (65g)
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice (30ml)
  • 3 tablespoons chia seeds (30g)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (5ml) – optional
  • 1/4 cup water (60ml)
  • Pinch of sea salt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Rinse fresh berries gently under cool water and pat dry. If using frozen, no need to thaw; just measure and use as is.
  2. Place berries, monk fruit sweetener, lemon juice, and water into a medium saucepan. Stir gently to mix everything.
  3. Bring the pot to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally to avoid sticking, until berries start to break down (8-10 minutes).
  4. Use a potato masher or the back of a spoon to gently crush the berries as they soften to create a thick, jammy texture.
  5. Sprinkle in chia seeds and vanilla extract, stirring well to combine.
  6. Reduce heat to low and let the mixture simmer gently for another 8-10 minutes until glossy and slightly thickened, stirring occasionally.
  7. Test the consistency by dropping a spoonful of jam onto a cold plate; if it gels and holds shape, it’s done. If not, simmer a bit longer.
  8. Remove from heat and let the jam cool to room temperature. Transfer into clean glass jars or airtight containers and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.

Notes

Keep heat moderate to avoid burning. Stir frequently. Use chia seeds as a natural thickener; for smoother jam, strain seeds after cooking. Adjust sweetness to taste as monk fruit is potent. If jam is too thick, stir in a splash of water and warm gently before serving. Jam thickens further when chilled.
