This Easy Keto and Low-Carb Berry Jam Recipe is Delicious
Hey, fruit—I wanna jam it with you!
Yep, I couldn’t help but throw in a Bob Marley phrase… I mean, my name is Marley after all (and of course, I’m a Bob fan). Reggae music just makes you feel good! Do you know what else does? This AMAZING keto berry jam!! 💃🏽
It’s thickened with chia seeds and sweetened with your favorite keto sweetener. I prefer allulose, but I also make it with stevia and erythritol. Coming in at only 1 net carb per serving, you can have your jam… and eat it, too!

This easy and delicious keto and low-carb jam really hits the sweet spot!
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh berries of your choice (I used 1/4 cup each, strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, & blueberries)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- preferred sweetener, optional (equivalent to 1-2 tablespoons sugar or to taste)
Directions
1
Place berries and sweetener in a small pot over medium-high heat. (If using strawberries, I suggest chopping them first.) Stirring occasionally, cook for about 5 minutes or until fruit starts to break down. Remove from heat and mash using a potato masher, wooden spoon, or immersion blender until you reach your desired consistency.
2
Add the chia seeds and stir to combine. Set aside to cool for 10 minutes. The chia seeds will thicken the jam as it cools.
3
Taste the jam and add additional sweetener if needed. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for about a week, or freeze for up to three months. (I use mini ice cube trays to freeze single servings.)
Additional Notes
Nutritional information does not include values for sweetener. If using stevia, the nutritional data will remain the same. For all other sweeteners, values will need to be calculated accordingly.

Just made this with some black currents that I had in the freezer, came out fantastic. I know the currents will alter the carb rate but I had to use them:)
Sounds yummy! Thanks for letting us know how it turned out with the currents!
So easy to make and delicious, like summer in a jar! Plus, you can add it to low carb yogurt like Two Good yogurt as a sweet mixer! 😋
Yummy idea! Thanks for the tip!
