Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh strawberries
- 1 cup fresh orange juice (unsweetened)
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
Directions
Step 1
1. Wash the strawberries thoroughly, hull them, and chop them into small pieces.
Step 2
2. In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the chopped strawberries and orange juice. Stir gently to mix.
Step 3
3. Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes or until the strawberries soften and release their juices.
Step 4
4. Use a potato masher or the back of a spoon to crush the softened strawberries to your desired consistency. For a chunky marmalade, mash lightly; for a smoother marmalade, mash more thoroughly.
Step 5
5. Stir in the orange zest and bring the mixture to a simmer. Allow it to cook for another 5 minutes while stirring occasionally.
Step 6
6. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the chia seeds. Mix well, ensuring the chia seeds are evenly distributed.
Step 7
7. Let the mixture cool for about 10 minutes. During this time, the chia seeds will absorb liquid and thicken the marmalade naturally.
Step 8
8. Once cooled, transfer the marmalade to an airtight jar or container. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow it to fully thicken.
Step 9
9. Serve your Whole30 strawberry marmalade on compliant almond flour crackers, as a dip for fresh fruits, or as a topping for sweet potatoes. Store in the refrigerator for up to one week.
