Notes
Nutrition: This recipe has 3 NET carbs per serving. A serving is about 3 tablespoons.
Thickeners: Glucomannan and xanthan gum are thickening agents. I sprinkle these over the jam in the final few minutes to avoid any lumps forming. If you prefer to sub in another thickening agent you may. Just add it according to its own directions.
Freezing: This jam freezes really well!
Quantity: This recipe makes about 1 1/2 pints of jam.
Notes on Sweeteners:
I use my own blend of xylitol, erythritol, and stevia in my recipes. This is twice as sweet as sugar. It is comparable to Trim Healthy Mama Gentle Sweet and Truvia.
To sub in Swerve or Lakanto Monk Fruit use 1.5 times the amount of sweetener called for.
To sub in Pyure or Trim Healthy Mama Super Sweet use half the amount of sweetener called for.
Substitutions will work in most recipes. They may not work in candies, such as caramel.
