Easy Strawberry Chia Seed Jam Recipe for Healthy Living

Ingredients

Servings:
2
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries (hulled and chopped)
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Prepare Strawberries

    In a medium bowl, mash the fresh strawberries with a fork until they reach your desired consistency.

    Leave some chunks for texture if you prefer.
  2. Mix Ingredients

    Add the chia seeds and honey or maple syrup to the mashed strawberries.

    Stir well to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
  3. Let it Sit

    Allow the mixture to sit for about 10-15 minutes to let the chia seeds absorb the liquid and thicken the jam.

    Stir occasionally during this time.
  4. Taste and Adjust Sweetness

    Taste the jam and adjust the sweetness if necessary by adding more honey or maple syrup.

    Remember that it will taste less sweet once chilled.
  5. Store the Jam

    Transfer the jam to a clean jar and refrigerate. It will keep for about 1-2 weeks.

    Use a sterilized jar for longer shelf life.
