5-minute sugar-free strawberry jam - you’ll never go back to store-bought

Jams are a delightful treat. Their chunky yet smooth texture and fruity taste complement bread, cakes, and even cheese beautifully. However, they're often laden with sugar to extend

their shelf life and enhance sweetness and flavour. Making your own jam at home could be the answer for those seeking a healthier alternative without sacrificing flavour. Danielle Brown,

known on Instagram as healthygirlkitchen, has shared an easy recipe for scrumptious strawberry jam: "Did you know you can make jam at home in five minutes? "You only need a few

simple ingredients to make the best jam ever. I promise you will never want to buy store-bought jam again." INGREDIENTS * Two cups of strawberries * Two tbsp of water * Two tbsp of chia

seeds * One tbsp of lemon * One tbsp of maple syrup METHOD After removing the saucepan from the heat, mix in lemon juice, maple syrup, and chia seeds until well combined. Let the mixture

cool before placing it in a jar with a tight-fitting lid and refrigerating it; it'll stay fresh for up to three weeks. Brown also notes that frozen berries are a great substitute when

fresh fruit isn't available. Echoing her sentiment, a food expert from Sugar Free London endorsed the recipe, remarking: "I've been making sugar-free jam ever since I started

eating low carb.", reports the Express. "Guys, it's so simple. All you need is quality fruit, which you simmer gently until enough liquid has evaporated. "Then you add a

bit of extra sweetness such as erythritol, stevia or Swerve (if necessary) and a little bit of thickener such as chia seeds, gelatin or xanthan gum (if necessary). That's it!".
