Sugar Free Raspberry Jam
Sugar Free Raspberry Jam uses fresh or thawed raspberries combined with chia seeds, vanilla, water, lemon juice, and powdered sweetener to create a naturally thickened fruit spread. The chia seeds absorb moisture, helping the jam to set without added sugar. This jam offers a bright raspberry flavor with subtle sweetness and a smooth, slightly textured consistency depending on preparation choices.

Notes
- This jam has approximately 8 grams net carbs per tablespoon serving and makes around 10 servings total.
- Keep the jam refrigerated in a sealed container for up to one week to preserve freshness and texture.
- For extended storage, freeze the jam in portioned containers or ice cube trays for up to three months, thawing as needed for each serving.
- Grinding the chia seeds before use produces a smoother jam, and passing the mixture through a sieve results in a jelly-like consistency.
