Ingredients
- 500 grams Fresh strawberries
- 250 grams Granulated sugar (vegan-friendly)
- 1 large Lemon
- 1 large Orange
- 120 milliliters Water
Directions
Step 1
Wash and hull the strawberries, then chop them into small pieces.
Step 2
Zest the lemon and orange. Be careful to avoid the white pith, as it can be bitter.
Step 3
Juice the zested lemon and orange, discarding the seeds but keeping any pulp. You should have approximately 60 milliliters of juice in total.
Step 4
In a large saucepan, combine the chopped strawberries, vegan sugar, lemon and orange juice, water, and zests.
Step 5
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir until the sugar dissolves completely.
Step 6
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to simmer. Stir frequently to prevent sticking and cook until the mixture thickens, about 30–40 minutes.
Step 7
To check if the marmalade is ready, spoon a small amount onto a cold plate. If it sets and forms a gel-like texture after cooling slightly, it is done. If not, continue cooking for a few more minutes and test again.
Step 8
Once the marmalade is at the desired consistency, remove it from the heat and let it cool for 5–10 minutes.
Step 9
Carefully transfer the hot marmalade into sterilized jars, leaving a small gap at the top. Seal the jars tightly.
Step 10
Allow the marmalade to cool completely at room temperature, then store in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks or process in a water bath for long-term storage.
