Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Fresh strawberries
- 60 grams Powdered erythritol
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 60 milliliters Water
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
Wash the strawberries thoroughly and remove the green stems. Slice the strawberries into quarters for easier cooking.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the strawberries, powdered erythritol, lemon juice, and water. Stir the ingredients together to coat the strawberries evenly.
Set the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking or burning.
Once the mixture begins to break down and releases its juices (about 5-7 minutes), reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for an additional 10-12 minutes. Use a spoon or potato masher to gently mash the softened strawberries to your desired consistency.
Add the chia seeds to the saucepan and stir well to combine. The chia seeds will act as a natural thickener, giving the marmalade its gel-like texture as it cools.
Optional: Stir in the vanilla extract for added flavor depth.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture cool to room temperature. The marmalade will thicken further as it cools.
Once cooled, transfer the marmalade to an airtight jar or container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
