Instructions
- Step 1: In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup mixed berries, 1/4 cup maple syrup, and 2 tbsp lemon juice. Simmer over medium heat for 5-7 minutes until berries break down and release juices, then strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl to remove seeds.
- Step 2: Return the strained berry puree to the saucepan, add 1.5 tsp pectin and 1/4 cup water, and bring to a rolling boil while whisking constantly for 1 minute until thickened and glossy.
- Step 3: Remove from heat and stir in 1 tsp coconut oil. Pour the mixture into a lightly oiled silicone mold or mini muffin tin, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours until fully set and firm to the touch.
