Strawberry Jam (Pectin Free, Refined Sugar Free, Colour Free and Gelatin Free)

I always have a hard time finding jam that doesn't contain sugar, pectin, colour or gelatin.  After a huge mess and a few batches later, I am happy with the results.  This jam is not too sweet, tastes like strawberries and has a smooth consistency.

Ingredients (makes approximately 2 cups)

• 2 cups sliced strawberries
• 8-10 dates
• 1/2 tablespoon psyllium husk
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• pinch sea salt

Directions

1. Place all ingredients in a blender and puree until smooth, of if you prefer some strawberry pieces then leave some or all strawberries out.  
2. Add all ingredients into a medium size pot. 
3. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently.  Reduce heat and cook for another 10-15 minutes until some liquid has been reduced.  Jam will thicken as it cools.
4. Transfer to a hot sterile jar, leaving 1/4 to 1/2 inch space and seal.  Turn jar upside down and place in fridge or a water bath. If the jam is going to be eaten right away, don't bother with processing, and just refrigerate.
