This Strawberry Chia Seed Jam needs only 4 ingredients and less than 20 minutes to come together.
Since this jam is free of preservatives, it’s best to eat it up within a week of making it. We’ve stored ours in the mason jar you see in these pictures and used it for all sorts of things – pb & j sandwiches, topping some amazing double chocolate scones, slathered onto cornbread and, just like as a kid, even straight out of the jar!
Ingredients:
- 2 cups strawberries, destemmed and chopped in half
- ¼ cup maple syrup (optional)
- 2 Tbsp Chia Seeds
- Water as needed
Directions:
- Place chopped strawberries, chia seeds and maple syrup (if using) into a blender. Blend on medium to high speed until preferred jam consistency is obtained. Add water 1 Tbsp at a time as needed to get things moving.
- Pour contents of blender into a small saucepan and heat over medium heat until the jam begins to bubble. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the jam starts to thicken.
- Remove from heat and immediately pour into a mason jar. Allow to cool completely and then store in the fridge for up to one week.
