Strawberry Chia Jam

Prep Time10 minutes
Cook Time10 minutes
Total Time20 minutes
Servings: 1 24 oz mason jar

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs Strawberries Cut into pieces
  • 2-3 tbsp Chia seeds
  • 3 tbsp coconut sugar
  • 1 tsp lemon juice

Instructions

  • The first step is to thoroughly clean your strawberries remove the stem and cut into pieces. 
  • In a pot, cook down the strawberries on medium-high heat stirring occasionally to make sure the bottom doesn't burn. 
  • Add 3 tbsp of coconut sugar (add more if you would like it sweeter) and 1 tsp lemon juice. 
  • Once the strawberries have cooked down for about 10 minutes they will have released a good amount of water. You can then remove from flame. 
  • At this point, you could mash the jam with a spoon. I chose to leave my jam chunky like a compote. 
  • Add 3 tbsp chia seeds and stir. In about 10 minutes, the mixture will become gelatinous. It will gel up even more overnight. 
  • Transfer to a mason jar and allow to cool overnight. 

Notes

Feel free to use any berry or fruit you have on hand to make this jam. All berries will require about the same cooking time.
