Sugar-Free Berry Jam Recipe
Delicious and colorful jam doesn’t necessarily need to contain loads of sugar. In fact, it can have ZERO SUGAR. This recipe will prove it to you.
Ingredients
- 400 g red bilberries, strawberries, peaches, or pears
- 135 g water
- 50 g allulose (or any sugar-free sweetener that's designed for jams, e.g., Sukrin+)
- 1 g agar
- 0,5 teaspoon citric acid (ONLY for strawberries)
Instructions
- Add all ingredients except for agar to a pot and heat on medium heat until the fruits or berries begin to dissolve (about 20-25 minutes).
- Blend into a uniform mixture and continue heating for another 25-30 minutes until the mixture slightly thickens and becomes darker (stir occasionally).
- Add agar and continue heating while stirring until agar dissolves. Wait for the mixture to start boiling again (bubbles will appear), and remove from heat.
- Fill into clean jars and let the jam cool down.

Notes
- After adding agar, it's important to remove the pot from heat as soon as the jam starts boiling. Otherwise, it can negatively affect the texture of the jam.
- Feel free to strain the jam instead of blending for a smoother texture.
