Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh or frozen blackberries

- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 cup granulated erythritol (or preferred sugar substitute, to taste)

- Step 2: Cook Berries. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then simmer for 5-7 minutes, crushing berries with a masher.
- Step 3: Add Sweetener & Pectin. In a separate bowl, whisk erythritol and pectin. Gradually sprinkle into simmering berries, stirring constantly.
