Strawberry Maple Chia Jam
This jam is so good, only has four ingredients and comes together in a jiff. Less than ten minutes to be exact, once you cut the berries. And the addition of chia seeds makes this not only a delicious treat to add to so many things, but a super healthy one too.
Ingredients
- 2 cups chopped strawberries
- 1-2 tbsps maple syrup
- 1/2 tsp fresh lemon juice
- 3 tbsps chia seeds
Instructions
-
Add the chopped strawberries, 1 tbsp maple syrup and lemon juice to a medium saucepan over medium-low heat.
-
Cook, stirring occasionally, for 8-10 minutes. (I like to mash slightly with a fork during the cooking process.)
-
Once the strawberries have cooked down a bit and are bubbly, turn the heat off and taste to see if you want to add more maple syrup or a few drops more lemon juice. Then stir in the chia seeds.
-
Pour into a heatproof jar/ container and let cool. Once cooled, cover with a lid and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks
Recipe Notes
*A mix of berries can also be used. The sweeter the better.
*If you like chunks of strawberries then don't mash during the cooking process, but if you want it a little smoother, use a fork or potato masher to break the berries up a bit.
