In reply to Irma salas. Yes, that should work, though I haven’t tested it. I would use about ½–¾ cup of a thick sugar-free strawberry preserve. Omit the sweetener and xanthan gum from the filling, since the preserves are already sweetened and thickened. Spread it over the center of the dough, leaving the same 2-inch border, and bake as directed. Keep an eye on it near the end, as the preserves may bubble. Nutritional information will vary depending on the brand you use.

In reply to Cathy Koehler. I wouldn't replace the flaxseed in the dough, sorry.

I don’t see a response or anything in the recipe for a replacement for flaxseed if you can’t use it?

Thank you for posting this recipe. Mine needed 3 extra Tablespoons of Almond Flour to come together in a sticky ball. I had blackberries from last years picking in the freezer that needed using up. This was perfect. I thawed and drained them well before mixing in the fruit ingredients. Next time I will roll my dough circle a little thinner and do a second chilling of the rolled out dough before shaping with the fruit filling. I ran out of time to do that, but it still turned out wonderful! If I could add a picture I would. Thanks again.

In reply to Linda. Yep I think frozen will work just fine.

Brenda…what’s your thoughts on using frozen fruit? Do you think there is enough Xanthan gum to thicken the extra juice? Hmmm…..

Is there anything else that can be used instead of flaxseed? And I have to say, I haven’t been disappointed by any of your recipes that I’ve tried & I’ve tried several.

In reply to Elizabeth Lischner. You can evenly swap the almond flour with sunflower seed flour, I have and it is still delicious!

In reply to Sam. So the filling was divine, but the pastry was tasteless and not sweet? Since the filling is sweet, the pastry does not have much sugar free sweetener, just 1 tablespoon, and we felt it was best like this. When you follow a recipe from a creator like me, we can't take into account your personal tastebuds and what will be sweet enough for me may not be sweet enough for you. The recipe is a guideline. We felt the sweet filling was sweet enough and the pastry didn't need to be. Also when you read over a recipe, if you know you like sweet pastry dough and see only 1 tablespoon in the ingredient list, best to add more for your own preferences.

Didn’t care for it. It was so tasteless, not sweet at all. The filling was divine…
