This jarred fruit spread is made with wild strawberries, chia seeds, lemon, and cinnamon. It thickens through the chia seeds’ natural gelling properties, without added sweetener. It is a practical breakfast option for people seeking a spread suitable for diabetes.
Lightly mash the wild strawberries in a pot and simmer over low heat for 15 minutes.
Add the lemon juice and chia seeds and cook, stirring, for another 10 minutes. The chia seeds thicken the mixture without added sweetener.
Remove from the heat and let rest at room temperature for 30 minutes. During this time, the chia seeds absorb liquid and thicken the mixture.
Make sure the fruit juice is truly boiling before adding the chia seeds; otherwise, they may not gel properly. Do not skip the 30-minute rest, when the mixture thickens.
Chia tohumu bulamadığım için yerine psyllium kabuğu tozu kullandım, kıvam biraz daha jölemsi oldu ama yine de güzel yayıldı. 30 dakikalık dinlenmeyi 45 dakikaya çıkarmam gerekti, tam koyulaşması için.
Psyllium kabuğu tozu da iyi bir alternatif, chia'dan biraz daha hızlı su çekebiliyor. 30 dakikalık dinlenme çoğu durumda yeterli oluyor ama daha koyu kıvam isterseniz birkaç dakika daha bekletebilirsiniz.
