Ingredients

  • 12.5 oz rhubarb Note 1
  • 5 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice Note 2
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons chia seeds
  • 1-2 tablespoons powdered stevia Note 3 and 4
US - EU

Instructions

  • Clean and chop the rhubarb.
  • Cook: Place into a small saucepan together with the orange juice or water. Bring to a boil and cook over medium heat, stirring, until the rhubarb is soft and most of the liquid has cooked off about 10 minutes.
  • Thicken: Add the chia seeds, lower the heat and stir for about 5 minutes, until nicely thickened.
  • Sweeten: Remove from the heat and stir in the stevia to taste.
  • Refrigerate: Transfer to a jar, let cool, cover, and keep in the refrigerator. It will keep for about 1 to 2 weeks.

Notes

  1. Or strawberries, any other kind of berries, peaches, nectarine, apricots, and so on.
  2. Use water if you don't have any oranges in the house.
  3. I use powdered stevia that can replace sugar 1:1. If using another brand, dose according to the packet's instructions and to taste. Start with a smaller amount and add more as required.
  4. Alternatively, you can use erythritol, maple, date or agave syrup or even honey. Always to taste.
