Because this is a recipe that isn’t meant for preserving you can leave the jar in the fridge for up to a week. Anything after that use your best judgment.
How To Make Keto Jam
Start with a small saucepan and add in your chopped strawberries and syrup. You will want to cook on low heat for five minutes or so. Then in the time, it is cooking down you will want to start mashing down the strawberries with a fork or spoon.
Then once the mixture begins to bubble add in the seeds to help thicken the jam. Cook on low for around five more minutes, stirring often. Work at breaking down the strawberries to remove any large chunks.
Let the mixture cool and then pour into an airtight container with a lid. I love using a glass jar for jam and jelly recipes.
