Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 50 grams chia seeds
- 40 grams whey protein powder
- 60 ml honey or maple syrup
- 15 ml lemon juice
- 5 ml vanilla extract
- 100 ml water
Instructions
1. Begin by rinsing the mixed berries under cold water to remove any dirt or debris.
2. Place the berries in a medium-sized saucepan. Add the water and lemon juice to the pan.
3. Set the pan over medium heat and bring to a gentle simmer. Allow the berries to cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to break down and emit juices.
4. Use a masher or the back of a spoon to mash the berries to your desired texture, either smooth or chunky.
5. Stir in the honey or maple syrup, ensuring it incorporates well with the fruit mixture.
6. Gradually add the whey protein powder, stirring continuously to prevent clumping.
7. Add the chia seeds and vanilla extract to the mixture. Stir well to ensure everything is evenly mixed.
8. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for an additional 5 minutes. The chia seeds will absorb liquid and help thicken the confituur as it cools.
9. Remove the saucepan from the heat. Allow the mixture to cool slightly before transferring it to sterilized jars.
10. Seal the jars and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the confituur to set properly.
