Ingredients
- 500 g fresh strawberries
- 60 ml orange juice
- 1 piece zest of an orange
- 3 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp chia seeds
Directions
Step 1
Rinse and hull the strawberries, then dice them into small pieces.
Step 2
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the diced strawberries, orange juice, and orange zest.
Step 3
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the strawberries begin to break down.
Step 4
Use a potato masher or the back of a spoon to mash the strawberries to your desired consistency. For a smoother marmalade, you can use an immersion blender.
Step 5
Stir in the honey and continue cooking for an additional 8-10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens slightly.
Step 6
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the chia seeds. Let the mixture rest for 5 minutes to allow the chia seeds to swell and thicken the marmalade.
Step 7
Once the marmalade reaches your preferred consistency, transfer it to a clean, airtight jar and let it cool to room temperature.
Step 8
Store the marmalade in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Enjoy it on its own or as a topping for Paleo waffles, pancakes, or baked goods!
