For the Jam:
- 18 oz blackberries fresh or frozen
- 1/4 cup lime or lemon juice
- 1 tsp citric acid optional
- 1 lime or lemon zested (optional)
For Sweetening & Thickening:
- 1/3 cup Allulose or Erythritol
- 2 packets stevia powder
- 20 drops stevia liquid optional
- 1 tbsp Inulin
- 3 tbsp liquid pectin Certo Brand or 2 tsp unflavored gelatin, granulated
Prepare the Blackberries:
In a medium pan, add the blackberries and heat over medium-high heat. Stir occasionally with a wooden spatula. After 5-10 minutes, the blackberries will start to break down into a puree. If needed, use the spatula to help them along.
Optional: Remove Seeds:
If you prefer a smoother jam, use a hand blender to blend the mixture. Then, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the seeds. For a chunkier jam, skip this step.
Sweeten and Thicken:
Add the Allulose or Erythritol, stevia powder, and Inulin. Stir well to combine. Lower the heat to medium-low and cook for about 10 minutes, allowing the mixture to thicken slightly. Taste the jam and adjust sweetness with additional stevia liquid or powder if desired.
Set the Jam:
If using liquid pectin, remove the pot from heat and stir it in. Test the set by placing 1/2 tsp of the jam on a cold plate; if it doesn’t set, bring the mixture to a boil again for 1-2 minutes and test again. If using gelatin, dissolve the gelatin powder in 1-2 tbsp of hot water, then stir it into the jam until fully dissolved and smooth.
Cool and Store:
Transfer the jam to a heat-proof jar with a lid. Let it cool completely to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours (3 hours or overnight if using gelatin) to set. Enjoy your jam over toast, crackers, oatmeal, or your favorite dishes!
