Sugar-Free Strawberry Rhubarb Chia Seed Jam Delivers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I don’t have to imagine because we’ve tried and loved it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’ve also made homemade keto ice cream with the jam, then topped it off with more of the preserve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s all-around easy to make and deliciously healthy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I love this jam because you don’t have to slave over the stove or do fancy work to get it done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Refrigerator Jam: Strawberry Rhubarb Chia Seed Jam<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Essentially this is a refrigerator or freezer jam which means you can store and enjoy it without canning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The process takes about 30 minutes, but keeping it in the refrigerator overnight is the key to its success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’ve had this fantastic rhubarb growing in our back garden all these years, which we presume made its way into the ground about 20 years ago but hardly used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We give it away most years because we can’t keep up with the growth, as it gives us about 3-4 crops a year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everyone visiting us always asks about our rhubarb if we are out on the deck enjoying a beverage because it stands out.<\/p>\n\n\n

SIMPLE STRAWBERRY RHUBARB CHIA SEED JAM<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

We recently gave a load to our neighbor, and then a couple came to pick crab apples from our mature, giant tree that we also struggle with. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is only so much bounty a family can eat, so we pass it on to friends or just about anyone who wants it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first couple of years after we moved into our house Mrs. CBB and I made lots of crab-apple spice jelly, which we still have in our cellar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also used the jelly to make gifts for a simple baby shower, which the guests loved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s great jelly but has sugar, so we haven’t been into it for a while and give it away when friends come around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before the jelly, we also made a lovely Rhubarb Cherry Applesauce<\/a><\/strong> and Rhubarb Blueberry sauce, which we used on pancakes<\/a><\/strong>, waffles<\/a><\/strong>, and crepes<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since Mrs. CBB has enjoyed her low-carb diet cutting sugar and carbs, we haven’t noticed the rhubarb until we discovered it is excellent for digestion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Generally, though you are in the induction phase of a low-carb diet such as Atkins, you will want to avoid all fruits apart from avocado or avocado oil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After induction, introduce low-carb fruits *see printable list at Low Carb Diem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Rhubarb<\/strong>  Net carbs per \u00bd cup: 1.7<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rhubarb is a unique low-carb fruit with a meagre carb count. A \u00bd cup serving has 2.8 carbs and 1.1 grams of fibre. Source: Low Carb Diem<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Other great low-carb fruits include strawberries, guava, blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our favorite fruits to eat are blueberries, strawberries, and blackberries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Black or White Chia Seeds<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n

\"SIMPLE<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Chia seeds taste like nothing BUT come packed with dietary fiber and Omega-3 Fatty Acids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you use black or white chia seeds, they offer the same nutritional value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can use chia seeds raw or cooked without losing any nutrition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’ve added chia to salads and made sugar-free chia pudding<\/a><\/strong> that rests overnight in the refrigerator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pudding was our inspiration for this Strawberry Rhubarb Chia Seed Jam. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Besides nutrition, what’s cool about it is that the chia reflects the seeds on the strawberry’s outer side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Initially, we made a batch of the jam without the chia, but then Mrs. CBB suggested we add a 1\/4 cup and see what happened. Perfect! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have a bag of white and Nutiva Organic Chia Seeds Black, 32 Ounce because you will want to use them in recipes differently, mainly for color, I suppose.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can use white or black chia seeds with the Strawberry Rhubarb Chia Seed Jam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We purchased a Viva Naturals Organic Chia Seeds bag,<\/a>2 Pound<\/a> bag<\/strong> from Amazon for $15.99, but it lasted a long time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Viva brand is widely known, and they have an excellent line of organic products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can also purchase Chia seeds at most health food stores, but all prices and quality are different. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Ingredients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • 1lb strawberries cleaned and sliced in half<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Three stalks of rhubarb cleaned and chopped into small chunks about 3 cups<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • 1 cup cold water<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Pink Himalayan salt or sea salt<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • 1\/2 cup granulated Splenda sweetener or erythritol Stevia blend sweetener or 1 cup sugar (this is if you want sugar)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • 1 tablespoon lemon juice<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • 1\/2 teaspoon xanthan gum<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • 1\/4 cup white or black chia seeds<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Instructions <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      1. Add 1 cup of cold water and your chopped rhubarb and salt in a medium-sized pot on medium heat, then boil for 10 minutes on high heat or until tender.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. Add the strawberries and cook for 10 more minutes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      3. Add the sweetener of choice, lemon juice, and xanthan gum, and stir it in.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      4. Remove the pot from the burner and use a hand blender to blend it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      5. Finally, add in your chia seeds and hand mix.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      6. Pour into your prepared jars or containers. Generally, we get 2-3 small mason jars.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      7. Refrigerate overnight and enjoy the following day.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        When making this Strawberry Rhubarb Chia Seed Jam, it’s essential to have a few containers or even mason jars that we use to store them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Ensure they are clean and dry so you can pour the jam in while it is hot, then seal the jar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Once refrigerated and cooled overnight, you can enjoy it on your favorite foods or freeze it later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Just give it time to defrost before using it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Your yield will be different depending on the size of the jars you use. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Feel free to test the sweetness of your Strawberry Rhubarb Chia Seed Jam<\/strong> before you store it, as you can add more if you feel it’s too tart for your liking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Please note that if you add or remove ingredients, the nutritional values will change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Thanks,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
