Strawberry Chia Jam
It is best to use strawberries that are fresh and in season; the fresher the berry the more flavour and more sweetness they will provide to the jam, however, this chia jam recipe can be made with frozen berries if needed.

Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh strawberries
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
Instructions
- Prepare the strawberries. Remove the stems, rinse thoroughly, and chop into small pieces.
- Transfer the washed berries to a saucepan and cook on a low heat. Cook the berries for approximately 5-7 minutes or until the fruit breaks down and become syrupy.
- As the berries cook down, use a potato masher or a fork to help break up the berries. You can leave the fruit as smooth or lumpy as you wish.
- When the berries have cooked down, add the lemon juice and honey and stir to combine. Taste and add more as needed.
- Turn off the heat, remove pan from stovetop and add the chia seeds.
- Ensure that the chia seeds are well combined in the mixture, stirring a few times.
- Allow the mixture to stand at least 5 minutes. As the chia seeds absorb the liquid the mixture will begin to thicken and take on a more gelatinous texture.
- Once cooled, transfer the mixture to a glass jar. The jam can be store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
- Enjoy!
