Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and roughly chopped
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional)

Method
 

  1. Cook the strawberries in a saucepan over medium heat, mashing as they soften, for 10 to 12 minutes until jammy and glossy.
  2. Remove from heat, stir in the chia seeds, sweetener, and lemon juice, and let sit 1 minute.
  3. Spoon into a jar, cool 30 minutes, then refrigerate at least 2 hours until set.

Notes

If using frozen berries, thaw and drain first. The jam sets best after a full 2 hours in the fridge; plan ahead for the best texture. For an extra smooth version, purée the cooked berries before adding the chia seeds.
