Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams mixed berries (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries)
- 50 milliliters water
- 20 grams chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons erythritol or preferred low-carb sweetener
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Start by washing and hulling the strawberries if using. Rinse all the berries well to remove any impurities.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the mixed berries and water. Cook over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes until the berries begin to soften and release their juices.
Use a fork or a potato masher to gently mash the berries to your desired consistency. If you prefer a smoother texture, use a hand blender.
Add the chia seeds, lemon juice, erythritol, and vanilla extract to the berry mix. Stir well to combine.
Continue cooking over low heat for an additional 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture starts to thicken.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture cool to room temperature. The geleia will thicken further as it cools because of the chia seeds.
Once cooled, transfer the geleia to a clean, airtight jar. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow flavors to meld and the chia seeds to fully expand.
This low-carb geleia can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Enjoy it with low-carb bread, yogurt, or as a topping for desserts.
