Have you ever tried making your own Jam? Well, now you can! Here’s a simple and sweet recipe for a strawberry and chia seed jam. It goes great with toast in the morning or even spread on your favorite rice cakes, the perfect blend of tart and sweet in a jar.
Here’s what you need to do:
- Heat fruits in a small pot over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the fruits begin to break down, about 10 minutes.
- Use a wooden spoon to mash the fruit to your desired consistency.
- Stir in the chia seeds, lemon juice, and sweetener until combined.
- Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes.
- The jam will thicken as it cools.
- Serve immediately, or transfer the jam to a sealed container and refrigerate it for up to 1 week, or freeze it for up to 3 months.
Here’s what you’ll need:
- 14 oz. (400g) strawberries, fresh
