Ingredients
- 500 grams Fresh strawberries
- 50 grams Powdered erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
- 50 milliliters Water
Directions
Step 1
Wash and hull the fresh strawberries. Chop them into small pieces for quicker cooking.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine the strawberries, powdered erythritol (or monk fruit sweetener), lemon juice, and water.
Step 3
Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the strawberries start to release their juices.
Step 4
Once the mixture comes to a gentle boil, reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the marmalade cool to room temperature. It will continue to thicken as it cools.
Step 8
Transfer the marmalade to a clean, airtight jar or container and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Step 9
Enjoy your low-carb strawberry marmalade on your favorite low-carb treats!
