Notes
Note that if you use fresh raspberries you may need to add a tablespoon of water to the recipe prior to cooking to add a bit of additional liquid.For the strawberry version of this jam, check out Sugar Free Strawberry Chia Jam Spread or simply use hulled chopped strawberries in place of the raspberries in this recipe. Chop them into smaller pieces so they cook more quickly as strawberries are denser than raspberries. Add a tablespoon of water to the strawberries before heating. Strawberries need to be cooked for about 10 minutes to get them soft. Use the same quantities as per the recipe above.For a wonderful Devonshire tea scone recipe to go with this recipe, as per the photo, check out this recipe for Low Carb Scones.
