This Strawberry Chia Seed Jam is so easy to make and so delicious! It’s definitely worth trying. I was amazed that I could make a jam without gelatine, preservatives and processed sugars! Lately, I have been incorporating superfoods in my diet and chia seeds are one of them. I personally love chia seeds, they are packed with essential fatty acids (especially Omega-3), protein, vitamins and minerals and they can be used in a variety of ways. I will be posting later on a few ways that I use chia seeds in my diet! In the meantime, enjoy this recipe for chia seed jam with a slice of Coconut Flour Bread!

Strawberry Chia Seed Jam
Ingredients
- 2 cups of washed strawberries cut in half
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tbsp of raw Manuka honey
- 2 tbsp of chia seeds
Instructions
- Cook strawberries in a medium saucepan until the fruit starts to break down and become syrup, for about 5-10 mins stirring with a spatula every 1-2 minutes
- If you prefer a smoother jam, mash some of the strawberries with the back of the spatula or leave it as lumpy as you want
- Remove from heat and add honey and lemon juice mixing it all together
- Taste to ensure you have the right amount of sweetness add more honey or lemon juice to your preferred taste
- Stir in chia seeds
- Let it stand for 5 minutes to thicken. You will see the jam firm up and taking on a thicker consistency. If after 10 mins the jam is not as thick as you would like it to be, stir in another 1 tsp of chia seeds
- Transfer to mason jar for storage
- Enjoy! (On Coconut Flour Bread)
