Materials

  • 2 cups fresh or frozen strawberries
  • 2 tbsp chia seeds
  • 2 tbsp honey, maple syrup or sweetener of your choice
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  • In a saucepan, combine the strawberries, chia seeds, sweetener, and vanilla extract.
  • Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the strawberries break down and the mixture thickens.
  • Mash the berries with a fork or potato masher to your desired consistency.
  • Continue to cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken the jam.
  • Remove from heat and let it cool before transferring to a jar. Store in the refrigerator for up to a week.
  • This will yield approximately 1 to 1 ½ cups of jam, depending on the consistency you desire.
  • Can be frozen for up to 3 months.
