Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Fresh strawberries
- 50 grams Powdered erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
- 50 milliliters Water
Instructions
Wash and hull the fresh strawberries. Chop them into small pieces for quicker cooking.
In a medium saucepan, combine the strawberries, powdered erythritol (or monk fruit sweetener), lemon juice, and water.
Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the strawberries start to release their juices.
Once the mixture comes to a gentle boil, reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
While the strawberries cook down, use a fork or potato masher to mash them into your preferred marmalade consistency, or leave some chunks for texture.
After 15 minutes, stir in the chia seeds. Continue cooking for an additional 5 minutes to let the mixture thicken. The chia seeds will act as a natural thickener.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the marmalade cool to room temperature. It will continue to thicken as it cools.
Transfer the marmalade to a clean, airtight jar or container and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Enjoy your low-carb strawberry marmalade on your favorite low-carb treats!
