Like pectin, a natural plant thickener agar agar is suitable for vegetarians and vegans. The marmalade will turn out to be a bright pink color, and sweet beets will shade the strawberry sourness and give the dessert a more intense taste.

Chop the strawberries and beetroot blender until the consistency of the puree. Pass it through a fine sieve or gauze to get rid of the ungrained particles. Transfer the mixture into a saucepan with a mixture of water and thickener, add lemon juice, honey or maple syrup and whisk again.
