Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 4

3 cups fresh strawberries, roughly chopped
3 tablespoons chia seeds
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1-3 tablespoons honey, maple syrup or monk fruit (if needed)

Steps:

  • Place strawberries in a saucepan over a medium heat. Cook until the strawberries begin to break down and the mixture is bubbly. The strawberries will become loose and liquidy, about 10 minutes.
  • Mash the fruit with a potato masher or the back of a spatula. You can make this as smooth or chunky as you'd like. It all depends on how you like your jam.
  • Stir in the chia seeds and lemon juice. Taste the jam and then decide if you want to add sweetener. Start with one tablespoon, if desired and adjust from there.
  • The jam will continue to thicken as it cools. Once it has cooled, transfer into an airtight jar and store in the fridge for 1-3 weeks or up to three months in the freezer.
