Do you miss jams and jellies on the keto diet? This sugar-free mixed berry jam only takes 4 ingredients and less than 30 minutes to make. With less than 2 grams of net carbs per tablespoon compared to about 10 grams of net carbs in ordinary store-bought berry jam, PB&J's are back on the menu!

Can I have jam or jelly on keto?
If it is traditional jam or jelly the answer is of course no. Traditional homemade, or store-bought, jams, and jellies contain quite a bit of regular sugar. Which, of course, translates to carbs.
1 cup of regular sugar contains 200 grams of carbs, and 773 calories, per cup or about 12.5 carbs per tablespoon
YIKES! That is a lot!!
Compare that to 1 cup of Besti Monk Fruit and Allulose Sweetener.
1 cup contains ZERO net carbs!
Yes, you heard me correctly, it contains zero calories, zero net carbs, and zero glycemic index.
This is because Monk fruit, also known as luo han guo, is a small Asian melon. Monk fruit extract is derived by crushing the fruit, then drying the juice into a concentrated powder that has no calories, carbs or sugar.
Allulose is a natural sugar that we can’t metabolize, which means it tastes and acts like sugar without spiking our blood sugar.
The name “allulose” sounds like glucose, fructose, lactose, and other sugar names because it’s in the same family. But unlike these sugars, we can’t process allulose, which means it has zero calories and zero net carbs.
