- 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
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!
- 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!
