Recipe Ingredients
- 180ml / ¾ cup Water (divided into 120ml / ½ cup and 60ml / ¼ cup)
- 680g / 24oz Blackberries (5 cups)
- 300g / 1½ cups Monk Fruit Allulose Blend (to taste, see instructions)
- 5 tsp Unflavored gelatin powder
How To Make Low Carb Keto Blackberry Jelly (Sugar-Free)
- Boil the blackberries: In a medium saucepan, combine 120ml (½ cup) water and blackberries. Bring to a boil, stirring and mashing as the berries soften.
- Simmer: Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Strain the juice: Line a mesh sieve with a jelly bag or nut milk bag and place it over a bowl. Pour the berry mixture into the sieve, pressing with a spoon or spatula to extract the juice. You should get about 480ml (2 cups) of juice—add water if needed to reach this amount.
- Bloom the gelatin: In a small bowl, pour the remaining 60ml (¼ cup) water. Sprinkle the gelatin powder over the water, stir, and set aside for at least 5 minutes to bloom.
- Heat the juice: Pour the strained juice into a small stainless saucepan over medium heat. Add Besti sweetener and stir to dissolve. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed—it should be slightly sweeter than desired since it will taste less sweet after setting.
- Dissolve the gelatin: Reduce heat to low, add the bloomed gelatin, and stir for about 2 minutes until fully dissolved.
- Set the jelly: Pour the liquid into a jar and refrigerate for at least 5-6 hours, or overnight, until fully set. Stir with a butter knife or spreader before serving.
Recipe Tips
- Use ripe blackberries: The sweeter and juicier the berries, the better your jelly will taste. If your berries are tart, add a little extra sweetener.
- Strain the juice well: Press the berries firmly through the sieve to get as much juice as possible. If needed, add a bit of water to reach the right amount.
- Bloom the gelatin properly: Let the gelatin sit in water for at least 5 minutes before using. This helps it dissolve smoothly without clumps.
- Sweeten slightly more than needed: The jelly will taste less sweet after setting, so adjust the sweetener while the juice is warm.
- Chill long enough: Let the jelly set in the fridge for at least 5-6 hours, or overnight, for the best texture. Stir before serving for a smooth consistency.
How To Store Leftovers?
- Refrigerate: Let the jelly cool to room temperature before sealing it in an airtight jar. Store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
