Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Fresh strawberries
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoons Stevia or monk fruit sweetener (optional, adjust to taste)
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Wash the strawberries thoroughly under cool water and remove the stems.
Chop the strawberries into small pieces and transfer them to a medium-sized saucepan.
Add the lemon juice and water to the saucepan with the strawberries.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once the strawberries begin to break down and release their juices (about 5–7 minutes), use a potato masher or fork to mash them into your desired consistency. For a chunkier marmalade, mash lightly. For a smoother marmalade, mash thoroughly.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer for another 10 minutes, stirring often. If desired, add the stevia or monk fruit sweetener in small increments to taste, stirring well after each addition.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the chia seeds. The chia seeds will help thicken the marmalade as it cools.
Allow the marmalade to cool in the saucepan for 5–10 minutes. As it sits, it will thicken further.
Transfer the marmalade to a clean, airtight jar or container. Let it cool completely before sealing and storing in the refrigerator.
Enjoy the marmalade within 2 weeks. Spread it on toast, swirl into oatmeal, or use as a topping for desserts!
