Ingredients
- 500 grams Fresh strawberries
- 1 medium-sized Apple (peeled and grated)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons Water
- 1 teaspoon Powdered agar-agar
Directions
Step 1
Wash the strawberries thoroughly and remove their stems. Cut the strawberries into halves or quarters depending on their size for even cooking.
Step 2
Peel and grate one medium-sized apple. The natural pectin and sweetness from the apple will help thicken the confiture without adding sugar.
Step 3
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the strawberries, grated apple, lemon juice, and water. Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Step 4
Stir the mixture occasionally and mash the strawberries slightly using a fork or potato masher to release their juices. Allow the mixture to simmer for 15-20 minutes until the fruit is soft and the liquid has reduced slightly.
Step 5
Sprinkle the powdered agar-agar over the fruit mixture, stirring constantly to ensure it dissolves evenly. Cook for an additional 5 minutes to activate the agar-agar and slightly thicken the confiture.
Step 6
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the confiture cool for about 10 minutes. It will continue to thicken as it cools.
Step 7
Transfer the confiture to sterilized glass jars while still warm. Seal the jars with lids and allow them to cool completely at room temperature before storing in the refrigerator.
Step 8
Serve the sugar-free strawberry confiture on toast, pancakes, or as a topping for yogurt or desserts. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
