Chia Jam
  1. Start by making the chia jam.

    Add the strawberries (fresh or frozen) and the maple syrup to a pan with a splash of water. Bring to a boil while stirring and simmer for 5-10 minutes, stir occasionally. Once the strawberries are nice and soft and juicy, take the pan off the heat.

    Taste it and adjust with more maple syrup if desired, the amount needed depends on how sweet your strawberries are.

    Stir in the chia seeds and leave to cool.
