Raw Almond Butter and Raw Jelly for Savannah
Ingredients:
– 2 cups raw almonds
– 1-2 tablespoons maple syrup (optional)
– Pinch of salt
– 1 cup mixed berries (blueberries, strawberries, raspberries)
– 2-3 tablespoons chia seeds
– 1 tablespoon agave syrup (or sweetener of choice)
Instructions:
1. Begin by making your raw almond butter. In a high-speed blender or food processor, blend the raw almonds until they form a smooth, creamy consistency. This process may take a few minutes, so be patient and scrape down the sides as needed to ensure even blending.
2. If desired, add a touch of maple syrup for a subtle sweetness and a pinch of salt to enhance the flavors. Blend again until well incorporated. Adjust the sweetness and salt according to your preference.
3. Once your almond butter is ready, transfer it to a clean jar or container. This rich, nutty butter is not only delicious but also packed with essential nutrients like healthy fats and proteins.
4. Now, let’s move on to creating the raw jelly. In a separate bowl, mash the mixed berries using a fork or a blender until they form a chunky puree. Some fruit pieces add a lovely texture to the jelly.
5. Add in the chia seeds and agave syrup to the berry mixture. The chia seeds will act as a natural thickener, and the agave syrup will provide just the right amount of sweetness to balance the tartness of the berries.
6. Stir the ingredients well, making sure the chia seeds are evenly distributed. Allow the mixture to sit for at least 15-20 minutes to allow the chia seeds to gel and thicken the jelly consistency.
7. Once the raw jelly has reached your desired thickness, it is ready to be enjoyed. Spread this vibrant, antioxidant-rich jelly over a slice of toast, a rice cake, or mix it into your morning oatmeal for a burst of fruity flavor.
