Here we go again! It’s our never ending journey to make fruit sauces out of all fruits that are low-carb/keto friendly and today’s fruit happens to be sponsored by our kids with this Keto Blackberry Sauce!
A couple of weeks ago, they insisted on buying a Costco size tray of blackberries!
We knew there was no way they’d get through it all, but they threw the ‘please, its healthy right?’ card at us….sooo…how could we resist?
Fast forward 10 days later, the carton was still sitting in our fridge and we needed to make use of them somehow.
It’d been a while since we made any fruit sauces, so we figured it would be a good time to use them up and at least preserve them.
An hour later, out comes this dark pearl blue fruit sauce that just blew my expectations!
It’s not too sweet and has a nice balanced berry profile, a welcomed addition to our fruit sauce collection! Now, one low-carb/keto fruit down and many more to go!
This sauce carries the jam sweetness up front with subtle flavors of blackberry showing up near the end of the profile. It’s subtle but well balanced to leave you wanting more and more!
Coming in at ~1g net carbs per tbsp, it’s definitely keto friendly as far as fruit sauces are concerned!
Now, let’s get started!

Hi! I was looking for a quick and easy blackberry topping for some Keto vanilla ice cream. I had a small package from Trader Joe’s that I needed to use up. I just finished this and it tastes fantastic. I sprinkled just a tiny amount (not even 1/16th of a tsp) at the end to firm it up just a little. Great job!
