Equipment

  • 1 Medium Pot
  • Potato Masher

Ingredients

  • 2 cups chopped strawberries
  • 3 1/2 tbsp maple syrup or honey divided
  • 2 tsp chia seeds
  • 2 tsp lemon juice
  • 25 drops Hedessent Strawberry Flavour Drops
  • 1/4 tsp Hedessent Orange Flavour Drops See notes for other recommended flavours

Instructions

  • In a medium saucepan, stir together strawberries and 2 1/2 tbsp of maple syrup over medium heat, stirring until strawberries soften, about 5 minutes. Stir in chia seeds and reduce heat to medium-low.
  • Simmer, mashing berries with a potato masher until thickened, about 8 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the remaining 1 tbsp maple syrup and lemon juice. Let cool slightly. Stir in flavours, taste and adjust to preference.

Notes

Pro Tip: Serve over Greek yogurt and granola in a glass bowl as a parfait.
Orange and strawberry pair beautifully together. But don't be afraid to get creative with flavour. 
Below are some other flavour combinations. REMEMBER… if you are swapping out the flavours, start with less than what the recipe calls for, taste and adjust. 
Swap out the Strawberry for:
Black Cherry
Pomegranate
Raspberry
Swap out the Orange Flavour For:
Yuzu
Lemon
Pink Grapefruit
Mandarin Orange
Apricot
Of course you can really make this your own, and get creative.
