Ingredients
- 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)
Instructions
- 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.
