KETO BERRY JAM INGREDIENTS:
This section is where I share a few suggestions and explanations for the ingredients you’ll need for this recipe.
(You can find the exact amounts needed on the recipe card embedded below this section).
Why erythritol?
In my opinion, erythritol is the best keto-friendly sweetener.
– it doesn’t spike your blood sugar,
– it’s completely safe and
– has a very fresh & natural sweet taste.
Because of its natural origin and natural production process (fermentation), I also consider erythritol to be paleo-friendly.
You can use other keto-friendly sweeteners that won’t spike your blood sugar as well, but be aware that you may have to add more or less sweetener if you do so.
Erythritol is about 70% as sweet as sugar whereas other keto-friendly sweeteners like monk fruit and stevia are much sweeter than sugar.
Keep that ratio in mind when using a 1:1 sugar replacement.
HOW TO MAKE THE KETO BERRY JAM:
Place the berries and erythritol in a small saucepan and let everything simmer over low to medium heat for about 25 minutes, until they have taken on a jam-like consistency.
If your berry jam is not thick enough at this point, you can also add chia seeds.
Stir them in, let the jam sit for a few minutes, stir again and then let it sit again for at least 30 minutes.
Let your low carb berry jam cool completely before enjoying it.
Store your keto berry jam in an airtight container in your fridge and consume within a week.

Q: How do you include Erythritol in your calculations?
A: The short answer is: I don’t, and I can tell you why.
Erythritol is a sugar alcohol which your body can’t digest.
If you ingest it, it won’t spike your blood sugar & it won’t release insulin (which is a good thing if you want to stay in ketosis).
It passes through our system basically “untouched”.
Because of this, you can subtract the carbs from erythritol completely, which is what I always do.
(I try to be as accurate as possible with this information, but values may vary because of natural occurring fluctuations and different products used.)
