Helpful Recipe Tips

Use xanthan gum or chia seeds, this recipe is to use one or the other to thicken the jam. Do not use both. Xanthan gum will thicken almost instantly where chia seeds will thicken over time.
Fresh or frozen strawberries, either will work but note that if using frozen you can chop them up. But, they will soften and cook down in the cooking process.
Store keto strawberry jam in the refrigerator for 5-7 days after making. There are no added preservatives so the jam won't last a long time.
