Ingredients
- 500 grams Fresh strawberries
- 3 tablespoons Raw honey
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon Chia seeds
Directions
Step 1
Wash the strawberries thoroughly under cold running water and remove the stems.
Step 2
Cut the strawberries into halves or quarters, depending on their size, and place them in a medium-sized saucepan.
Step 3
Add the raw honey, lemon juice, and lemon zest to the pan with the strawberries. Stir to combine.
Step 4
Set the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Step 5
As the strawberries cook, use a wooden spoon or a potato masher to break them down into smaller pieces for a smoother texture. Cook for about 20 minutes, stirring frequently.
Step 6
After 20 minutes, stir in the chia seeds. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the mixture to thicken naturally.
Step 7
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the confiture cool to room temperature. The chia seeds will continue to absorb liquid and create a jam-like consistency as it cools.
Step 8
Transfer the strawberry confiture to a clean, airtight glass jar and store it in the refrigerator. It will keep fresh for up to 10 days.
Step 9
Serve the confiture over whole-grain toast, yogurt, or as a topping for oatmeal. Enjoy!
