Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Fresh strawberries
- 200 grams Fresh blueberries
- 200 grams Fresh raspberries
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 4 tablespoons Chia seeds
- 50 ml Water
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Wash and hull the strawberries. Depending on their size, you may need to halve or quarter them.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, lemon juice, and water.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer. Stir occasionally and gently mash the berries with a fork or potato masher as they soften and release their juices.
Continue to cook the mixture for about 10 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the chia seeds and vanilla extract.
Allow the confituur to cool for about 10 minutes, during which the chia seeds will absorb liquid and thicken the mixture.
Transfer the cooled confituur to a clean, airtight jar or container.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the confituur to set completely.
Keep stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Serve on toast, pancakes, or as a topping for yogurt or desserts.
