Crock Pot Sugar-Free Strawberry Chia Jam

By

When making Blueberry Jam, I find that I need to cook the mixture 5 hours to thicken instead of 4.
**I store mine in the freezer in sterilized mason jars.**
Yield: 4-5 cups jam

Ingredients

  • ◾3 pounds strawberries or blueberries, quartered
  • ◾1/4 cup lemon juice
  • ◾1-3 teaspoons stevia extract (I use NuNautrals) OR 4 cups sugar (start with the small amount and taste as you go to get the sweetness right. It will depend on the sweetness of your berries – some people have reported that 1/4 cup is enough sugar.)
  • ◾2 tablespoons chia seeds

Preparation

Step 1

1.Lightly grease a 5 quart crock.
2.In crock, combine lemon juice, berries, and stevia. Stir to coat.
3.Cover and cook on HIGH for 1 hour.
4.Uncover and mash berries using a potato masher.
5.Cover and cook another hour.
6.Mash berries again.
7.Cover and cook for 2 final hours with a spoon propped under the lid to let moisture escape. You might need only 3 hours, but I needed 4 hours for mine to start to thicken.
8.Stir in chia seeds.
9.Ladle mixture into jars and let cool slightly.
10.Refrigerate or freeze for longer periods. This mixture will get thicker in the fridge as it cools and the chia seeds work their magic.
