Steps:
- Chop the strawberries and place them in a saucepan together with the water.
- Bring to the boil (lid on), then turn down the heat medium and let it bubble away for 15 minutes. Only add the lemon juice if you want to store the jam for longer than 1 week - it prevents the growth of bacteria.
- Mash the strawberries with a potato masher (or with a fork), then continue to cook on low-medium for another 30 minutes until reduced by half. You want it to bubble peacefully. Bubbles will become smaller as the liquid evaporates. Stir regularly with a spatula to prevent the jam from burning. Towards the end of cooking, stir constantly.
- Taste. If necessary, sweeten with 1 tbsp of powdered erythritol.
- Add the ground chia seeds and stir. Cool and fill into a sterilised jar. Store in the fridge.

EASY LOW SUGAR NO PECTIN STRAWBERRY JAM
Steps:
- Cut the stem off the fresh fruit, being careful not to include any green bits along with the berries.
- Rinse the fruit very thoroughly. This will remove any bits of stem, and remove some of the small hair and fibers on the outside of the fruit.
- As you prepare the fruit, it's okay to use very ripe berries.
- They will taste better and make a better jam. In fact, it's better to have nearly over ripe fruit than just barely ripe.
- The berries are softer, sweeter, and have more natural sugars.
- Add the berries and mash them in batches.
- I usually mash two or three cups at a time, just to make sure I don't miss a berry and end up with an outsized chunk at the end.
- Put the fresh berries in a large, tall cooking pot and add the sugar, lemon juice, and water.
- Bring the mix to a roaring boil on high heat, stirring regularly.
- The boil needs to be strong, one that does not diminish when you stir.
- Maintain this level of boil for at least 20 minutes.
- Stir regularly and watch the heat, turning it down to medium-high heat as the jam thickens to avoid burning.
- When your jam begins to thicken and has reduced by nearly half, you can check to see if it's done.
- Total cooking time is over 30 minutes.
- When you're sure it's set, pour it into sterilized jars, or clean plastic storage containers, and let it cool on the counter.
- Be careful not to spill, as it is very hot and will give you a nasty burn.
- The hot water from the pot should be handled carefully as well.

Steps:
- Bring boiling-water canner, half full with water, to simmer. Wash jars and screw bands in hot soapy water; rinse with warm water. Pour boiling water over flat lids in saucepan off the heat. Let stand in hot water until ready to use. Drain well before filling.
- Stem and crush strawberries thoroughly, one layer at a time. Measure exactly 6 cups prepared fruit into 6- or 8-quart saucepot.
- Mix 1/4 cup of the sugar (from the measured amount in bowl) and pectin in small bowl. Add to fruit in saucepot; mix well. Add butter to reduce foaming. Bring mixture to full rolling boil (a boil that doesn't stop bubbling when stirred) on high heat, stirring constantly. Stir in remaining 3-3/4 cups sugar. Return to full rolling boil and boil exactly 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Skim off any foam with metal spoon.
- Ladle immediately into prepared jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of tops. Wipe jar rims and threads. Cover with 2-piece lids. Screw bands tightly. Place jars on elevated rack in canner. Lower rack into canner. (Water must cover jars by 1 to 2 inches. Add boiling water, if necessary.) Cover; bring water to gentle boil. Process 10 minutes. Remove jars and place upright on towel to cool completely. After jars cool, check seals by pressing middle of lid with finger. (If lid springs back, lid is not sealed and refrigeration is necessary.)
