Instructions:
- Prepare the strawberries: In a medium-sized saucepan, place the chopped strawberries. Use a fork or potato masher to mash them until you get a chunky consistency. If you like a smoother jam, you can mash them more thoroughly or even blend them.
- Cook the strawberries: Over medium heat, cook the mashed strawberries for about 5β7 minutes, stirring occasionally. The strawberries will release their juices and begin to thicken.
- Add chia seeds: Once the strawberry mixture starts to thicken, stir in the chia seeds, honey (or maple syrup), and lemon juice. Continue to cook for an additional 2β3 minutes until the jam reaches your desired consistency.
- Cool the jam: Remove the pan from the heat and stir in vanilla extract if using. Let the jam cool for about 10β15 minutes. As it cools, it will continue to thicken.
- Store the jam: Transfer the chia strawberry jam into a clean jar or container. Store in the fridge for up to two weeks.
