I've finally made it. I've just taken 5 frozen strawberries and put them into a cup and into the microwave. About 2 to 3 minutes later (my microwave power is only 700 W), there was a lot of liquid in the cup and the strawberries were soft, the smallest ones already losing shape. I've added erythritol and mixed well, using a fork to crush the fruit, then put it into the freezer to quickly cool it down. And I had my jam. The consistency was kind of runny, but with the crushed fruit inside. Perfect for me. I put it onto some keto waffles (coconut flour, egg, erythritol, butter, lots of cinnamon and almond milk). It was oh so satisfying!
I wasn't impressed with the erythritol, though. It took a lot to sweeten it. I wanted it really sweet. Next time I'll add some stevia, so I can use less erythritol.
Tomorrow I'll use this strawberry concoction to make gelatin. Sometimes I make lemon gelatin, but I want to experiment with the strawberries for a change. Perhaps add some heavy cream and make it into a sort of strawberry panacota.
I'm so happy it worked!
