Strawberry Chia Seed Jam
INGREDIENTS
- 2 1/2 c. strawberries, chopped (1 package)
- 3 tbsp. of maple syrup (or more depending on preference)
- 3 tbsp. chia seeds
- 1 tsp. lemon juice
INSTRUCTIONS
1) To a sauce pan add the chopped strawberries, maple syrup, and lemon juice. Stir to combine. Cook on medium-high heat for 10-15 minutes.
2) Once the strawberries are almost fully broken down, mash them until the desired consistency is reached. I enjoy having a few chunks in my jam, but if you don’t keep mashing until there aren’t any!
3) Add the chia seeds and stir to fully combine. Cook another 1-2 minutes. Allow jam to fully cool before transferring it into an airtight jar. As the jam cools it will thicken! Store in the fridge. Enjoy!
