Almond Butter Strawberry Jelly Slices Video

You can strain your strawberry jam if you like but I didn’t for the photos and video here as I’m all about simple and easy recipes. The seeds are full of good stuff so I prefer them in, but you will get a clearer jam if it’s strained.

The strawberries probably would set with their own natural pectin if you don’t have any agar agar and omitted the water. They wouldn’t be as firm but would still taste just as good. If you don’t have agar agar then you can use pectin.

This strawberry dessert is a good use of strawberries near the end of the season that aren’t as sweet. I added 2 tablespoons of maple syrup for extra sweetness but this is totally optional.

For a nut-free diet, I recommend sunflower seed butter.

If you don’t have any nut butter you can just use whole nuts or seeds but it will take a bit longer to blend together.

I’m using coconut sugar but any sweetener liquid or powder will work, I often use Maple syrup.

The salt is optional for the almond butter base. If the almond butter you are using has added salt then you might want to not add any. Recommended Products Links maybe affiliated, meaning I earn a commission from purchases but at no extra cost to yourself. Nest and Glow Recipe Book
