Instructions


1.

Combine strawberries, maple syrup, and lemon juice in a medium saucepan.

2.

Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally.

3.

Continue to simmer for about 5-10 minutes, or until the strawberries have softened and released their juices. Mash the strawberries with a spoon or potato masher to your desired consistency.

4.

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the chia seeds. Make sure the chia seeds are well distributed.

5.

Let the mixture sit for at least 15-20 minutes, or until the jam has thickened to your desired consistency. The chia seeds will absorb the liquid and create a gel-like texture.

6.

Taste and add more sweetener if needed.

7.

Transfer the jam to mason jars or airtight containers. Let it cool completely before sealing.

8.

Store the jam in the refrigerator for up to 1-2 weeks.

Notes


1.

Adjust the amount of sweetener to your preference. You can use honey, agave, or stevia instead of maple syrup.

2.

For a smoother jam, you can use an immersion blender to blend the mixture before adding the chia seeds.

3.

If the jam is too thick, add a tablespoon of water at a time until you reach the desired consistency.

4.

For longer storage, you can process the jam in a water bath canner following proper canning procedures.
