This fresh-made keto strawberry jam is the perfect topping for keto bread, pancakes and waffles, Get Some Ice Cream or even a Vanilla Collagen Bar. Sweetened only with natural birch xylitol, a 1 tablespoon serving is well under 1g of net carbs.
lace chopped strawberries, lemon juice and xylitol (start with the smaller quantity and add more later if needed) in a small saucepan over medium heat and stir to combine. Continue cooking for approximately 15 minutes, stirring occasionally and mashing the strawberries with a potato masher or fork once they have started to soften. Taste for sweetness, and add more xylitol if needed. In a small bowl, whisk together the gelatin and water then pour immediately into the strawberry mixture and stir to combine. Remove from heat and pour into a heat-safe container such as a mason jar (the half-pint size, wide-mouth jars work well for this). Allow to cool, then cover with lid and refrigerate until jelly-like, approximately 1 hour.
