I’m excited to share this recipe with you and hope you’ll love this jam as much as we do!

Let’s talk about strawberries!

Most fruits are high in carbs and don’t fit into a low carb keto plan. The great news is that most berries are relatively low in carbs and are a good keto choice. One cup of strawberries contains approximately 7-8 net grams of carbs. For comparison, one cup of blackberries contains about 6 net grams of carbs and one cup of raspberries contains about 7 net grams. You can also incorporate blueberries into your meal plan, just know they are much higher in carbs with one cup containing about 17-18 net grams of carbs. Strawberries are a low-calorie food, and they are rich in nutrients. They provide us with a source of folate, magnesium, manganese, potassium, and vitamins A and C, and fiber. You can always eat your strawberries raw, but they’re so delicious when cooked or roasted and used in jams, jellies, and sauces.

How do I make this easy keto strawberry jam?

This is a quick and easy jam to make, but there are a few things you can do to ensure yours comes out perfectly every time! First, I recommend you toss your strawberries with the allulose and allow the mixture to set for about 30 minutes. This is called macerating your berries. Macerating the berries pulls some of the juice from the strawberries and creates a syrup which helps to thicken your jam. We aren’t adding any thickeners to our jam, so I recommend macerating your strawberries for the best results. My go-to keto sugar substitute is the Swerve brand, but for this dish, I used allulose because I knew it wouldn’t crystallize when the jam cooled. If you use an alternative keto sugar and it crystallizes after you refrigerate your jam, you’ll want to let it set out a while or gently warm it a bit before using.      

How can I serve this easy keto strawberry jam?

You have some awesome low carb options for serving this jam. One of my favorite ways to serve it is as a topping for keto chaffles or English muffins. You can even add some peanut butter to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Yum! This jelly can also be served with keto pancakes or waffles. If you’d like, you could top some keto crackers with this delicious jam. You can make a quick and easy snack by adding some of this jam to some keto Greek yogurt. A fun appetizer is to top a block of cream cheese with jam, and this jam would be an awesome choice. You can even use it as a fruity topping for your favorite keto ice cream!

Helpful Hints:

*Mixing the strawberries and sugar and allowing them to set for 30 minutes draws out the liquid from the berries. It turns syrupy and helps the jam to thicken.

*You can easily double this recipe if you’d like.
