Ingredients
- 250 grams Fresh strawberries
- 150 grams Fresh blueberries
- 100 grams Fresh raspberries
- 60 ml Honey
- 30 grams Chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 60 ml Water
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Rinse all the berries under cold water. Remove the stems from the strawberries and cut them into quarters.
Step 2
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, honey, and water.
Step 3
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
Step 4
Let the berries simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the fruit has softened and started to break down.
Step 5
Using a potato masher or a fork, mash the softened berries to your desired consistency.
Step 6
Add the chia seeds, lemon juice, and vanilla extract to the berry mixture, stirring well to incorporate.
Step 7
Continue to cook the mixture on low heat for an additional 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it starts to thicken due to the chia seeds.
Step 8
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the confituur cool to room temperature. It will continue to thicken as it cools.
Step 9
Transfer the cooled confituur to a clean jar or airtight container.
Step 10
Refrigerate the confituur for at least 2 hours before serving. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
