Homemade Sugar Free Strawberry Jelly

Step 1

Start by placing your strawberries in a blender. Blend the strawberries until a near puree results. However, there should be some chunks of strawberries for best results.

Step 2

Using a large saucepan, set on medium heat, combine your gelatin, cold water and sugar alternative. Cook this, stirring continuously, until the ingredients are combined together. This should take you about 3-4 minutes.

Step 3

Next, we will add the strawberries to the saucepan. Stir in your strawberries 1/2 cup at a time. Be sure to stir the saucepan contents between strawberry additions.

Step 4

When all of the strawberries have been added to the pan, bring the pan to a boil.

Step 5

While your saucepan is heating up to that boiling poin, you can prepare empty jars by washing and drying them if you have not done so. I recommend using the method suggested by the manufacturer of the jars.

Step 6

Once the items on the stove begin to boil, turn the heat down and allow to simmer for 2 1/2 to 3 minutes. Carefully pour the mix into the jars and allow to cool.

Step 7

Once your jelly has cooled in the jars you can cover them tightly. The you can store them in your refrigerator.

Step 8

This method of homemade jelly should last a couple of weeks in the refrigerator.
