You can still enjoy the sweet and sour taste of rhubarb jam without adding any extra sugar. People who are on a keto or sugar-free diet will love this low-carb version.

Ingredients: 4 cups chopped rhubarb. 1 cup powdered erythritol or preferred low-carb sweetener. 1 tablespoon lemon juice. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. 1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum optional, for thickening.

Instructions: Put chopped rhubarb, powdered erythritol, and lemon juice in a saucepan. Over medium heat, stir the mixture every so often for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until the rhubarb breaks down and the sauce thickens. Now take it off the heat and mix in the vanilla extract. If you want, you can sprinkle xanthan gum over the jam and mix it well. This is going to help the jam get even thicker. Before putting the jam in jars or other containers, let it cool down. You can keep it in the fridge for up to two weeks.

good afternoon lovely fitfam. i would like to introduce you to the delicious strawberry and chia jam (recipe originally from fitsugar). jam is usually full of sugar and other nasties. but not this one! it has four ingredients: fresh strawberries, white chia seeds, water and your sweetener of choice (i use raw honey) and there is NO cooking involved -- so it's quick, easy and pretty much full proof.

ingredients:

- 1 punnet of fresh strawberries

- 1 Tbsp white chia seeds

- 1 Tbsp filtered water

- 1/2 tsp sweetener of choice (ie. raw honey)

method (yields one small jar of jam):

1. cut up your strawberries and put in small bowl.

2. using a fork, mash the strawberries until they look similar the photo below.

3. add the chia seeds, the water and your choice of sweetener.

4. mix and move to a jar for storage.

5. place jar in fridge for at least an hour to set.

and then serve! i love to put this jam on my new root's "life changing loaf" but you can use it on whatever you choose - bread and toast, crackers, desserts, fruit, even stir it through your morning oatmeal! the possibilities are endless. good luck!
