This Fresh Strawberry Jam is delicious on just about everything. It is really easy to make homemade strawberry jam sugar-free. It takes about ten minutes and four ingredients. When strawberries are in season and abundant it is worth it to make your own jam.

I have enjoyed this jam with cottage cheese, waffles, coffee cake, and directly from the jar with a spoon. I still need to try it on top of vanilla ice cream and with shortbread cookies.

For a really special treat put a little on top of this no-bake strawberry cheesecake.

How to Make Strawberry Jam

The hardest part of this recipe is hulling the strawberries. I use a tiny paring knife, insert it a bit off center near the stem, and then turn the berry. The stem and hull come off all as one. The reason I suggest removing the hulls is that they are normally firm and flavorless.

How to Prep the Berries for Keto Jam

After hulling the berries give them a couple of good smashings with a potato masher. Just to get the juices flowing. After cooking and before chilling the jam will look like this:

Do I need to cook the jam?

Cook over medium heat until they are softened. Smash until no large pieces remain. Add the sweetener, lemon juice, and thickener. Transfer into jars. Store in the fridge and enjoy. Serve with toast, waffles, yogurt, cottage cheese, muffins, ice cream, just about anything.

    I made this with half blue berries and half strawberries. Tasted delicious except I used regular Sure Jell didn't thicken very well we ate it anyway. Then bought Sure Jell for less sugar or sugar free jams and jellies that worked great. Best recipe I have tried. Thank you again

    Love this recipe, I added more lemon and it turned out great. Question though, how is there only 2g of sugar? Is that counting the natural sugars in strawberries? Thanks!

      That is for one serving which equals 2 oz of strawberries before cooking. Strawberries have one gram of natural sugar per ounce.

    If you want a very intense strawberry taste and naturally sweeter but also include sweetner is roasting your strawberries on parchment paper on a cookie tray...at about 400F till they soften then transfer to a pot using other ingredients to finish....i learned this ages ago what a difference...great for making strawberry icecream to

      It would be 4 pints (blueberries are normally in this size) but strawberries are more commonly sold in 1 pound containers.

      Hi Janica, It is a thickening agent. You can easily find it online. I order from Amazon. You can sub in another thickener of your choice.

    I make this a lot! I freeze it in pint jars, and when my youngest son comes to visit he takes a cooler back filled with this strawberry jam! He puts it on sugar free cheesecake! I like to eat it from the jar!

    Hi, I was going to try raspberry jam with your sugar mix and sure gel, is that what the glucomman is a thickener?

    A trick for hulling the berries....use a straw. You can use the form plastic ones that come with cups or just basic ones. You just cut the tops off and plow the straw through. It comes out the other end and you just slip the hull out the end of he straw. Sooo much faster! :)

    Do you know if this recipe can be frozen only? I'm looking for a jam that can be canned. Thanks!

    I just made a batch of this and it is very yummy! I did have to add extra homemade gentle sweet blend as our berries are a bit sour this year. I look forward to trying it out in the morning! Thank you for sharing!

    Have you ever made this with Blueberries instead. I'm a blueberry person or peach. I like to eat Strawberries but don't like them in a jam or jelly. :-(
