Sugar Free Jam *without* Artificial Sweeteners!
I don ‘t know about you, but I am loving fruit right now. I already told you about the amazing peaches I’ve been getting from our CSA, but have I mentioned the plums? How about the berries from the farmer’s market? Or the figs that are making an appearance now…
I really try to limit fruit but sometimes you just need something sweet, and fruit is a great direction to go in when that craving hits.
I have also learned how to make jam without sugar, or any other nasty sweeteners. (Heads up! Splenda is NOT healthy.)
It is a super simple process, and you can do it with most fruits that typically work well in jam.
You only need three ingredients and about an hour:
1 TBSP chia seeds
1TBSP water
1 cup fruit
Pulse the water and chia in your blender for a bit. Add your fruit and blend. Pour into a jar and refrigerate for an hour. Voila…Jam! No added sugar, no preservatives…no guilt!
Also, its a great way to get chia into you, which is awesome. Why eat chia? Let me tell you…
It is awesome on these coconut flour crepes! (Especially if you add a dollup of coconut cream!)
Enjoy!
