Strawberry Chia Jam is a quick and healthy homemade fruit spread made with fresh strawberries, chia seeds, and natural sweeteners. It thickens naturally without pectin and is perfect for toast, yogurt, oatmeal, and more.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh or frozen strawberries, hulled and chopped
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1–2 tablespoons maple syrup, honey, or agave (to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional)

Instructions

  1. Add strawberries to a saucepan over medium heat. Cook for 5–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to break down.
  2. Mash the softened strawberries with a fork or potato masher to your desired consistency.
  3. Stir in chia seeds and sweetener. Reduce heat and simmer for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice if using. Let cool completely—jam will thicken as it cools.
  5. Transfer to a clean jar and store in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.

Notes

  • Use frozen strawberries if fresh are unavailable—just cook slightly longer.
  • Add raspberries, blueberries, or blackberries for a mixed berry jam.
  • Blend after cooling for a smoother texture.
  • Add vanilla extract or cinnamon for extra flavor.
  • Freeze in small containers for longer storage.
