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.

- 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.
