Strawberry Chia Jam is a heathy alternative to regular sugar filled jam and super easy to make with only 3 ingredients. Fresh or frozen strawberries, chia seeds and a little maple syrup or honey, that's it!
- 500 g (about 3 cups) strawberries, washed and hulled
- 2-3 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 2 tablespoon chia seeds
-
Add the strawberries 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 soft and juicy, take the pan off the heat and add the honey or maple syrup.
-
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 mash the strawberries using a fork to a chunky consistency. Let the chia jam cool in the pan for 15 minutes. The jam will thicken while it cools.
-
Once the jam is cooled down, store in a airtight container in the fridge for about one week.
