Ingredients

  • 16 oz. fresh strawberries stems removed
  • juice of ½ of a lemon
  • 3 T chia seeds
  • 2-3 T maple syrup or your favorite sweetener

Instructions

  • In a food processor, pulse strawberries to puree. I like chunks of strawberries in my jam so I don't process them until completely smooth. Process to the desired smoothness.
  • Pour into a small mixing bowl and stir in lemon juice, maple syrup and chia seeds.
  • Transfer to a glass container with an airtight lid.
  • Cover and refrigerate for about 2-4 hours or until thickened to the desired consistency.
  • Enjoy on toast, in yogurt or straight from the jar!

Notes

  • If your strawberry chia seed jam seems too thin after chilling for several hours, you can add a bit more chia seeds to the mix and stir. Allow to chill another hour and see if the thickness is to your liking.
  • Adjust sweetness easily in this jam recipe. Start off with half the amount if you are not sure how sweet you want it. Then you can slowly add more.
  • Use any berry you like in this recipe!
