Low-Carb Mulled Wine Berry Jam

This sugar-free mulled wine berry chia jam is a great addition to your festive menu. It's easy to make and infused with bold flavours of the Holiday season: cinnamon, anise, cloves, vanilla, nutmeg, allspice, ginger, cardamom and orange.

After years of trying different chia jams, this one is my absolute favourite. The combination of spiced mulled wine and berries is beyond delicious.

I used frozen berries which are easy to find any time of the year. All berries will work but I strongly recommend you used some cherries which are best with mulled wine.

Recipe Tips

• Sweetener can be used to taste. Here's a list of suitable low-carb sweeteners.
• Nutrition facts are estimated - some ingredients are used for infusing. Also, some of the alcohol will be "cooked out".
• Serve 2-4 tablespoons on top of full-fat yogurt, sour cream, coconut yogurt, keto ice-cream, or use as filling in any keto pie crust.

Step-by-step

1. Pour the wine in a sauce pan. Add the nutmeg, cloves, allspice, cardamom, star anise, cinnamon stick, vanilla bean (split lenghtwise), ginger slices, and peel from half of an organic orange.

   

2. Bring to a boil and simmer uncovered over a medium-low heat for 12-15 minutes. Then turn off the heat and cover with a lid. Set aside to infuse for at least 30 minutes.

   

3. Strain into another sauce pan and return to the heat.

   

4. Add the Erythritol and berries.

   

5. Cook over a medium heat until it starts to boil (this will take 10-15 minutes).

   

6. Lower the heat and simmer for about 3 minutes.

   

7. Turn off the heat and add the chia seeds.

   

8. Mix with a spatula and set aside for 20-30 minutes to allow the chia seeds to gel and soak up the juices.

   

9. Transfer to a jar. Keep sealed and refrigerated for up to a week, or freeze in an ice cube tray for up to 6 months.
