Ingredients

2 cup strawberries fresh or frozen
2 tbsp chia seeds
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tbsp maple syrup

Instructions

Heat berries in a medium saucepan over medium heat for about 5 minutes.
Mash them with a fork or msher to get the desired size of berry chunks for your jam.
When the berries start to break down and get bubbly, turn the heat off and add chia seeds and lemon juice to the berries. Taste and add maple syrup to desired sweetness.
Transfer jam to an airtight container. Jam will thicken considerably as it cools.

Notes

Keep this jam stored for up to one week in the refrigerator in an airtight container or a sealed mason jar.

Substitute any type of fruit for strawberries.

Serve on top of pancakes or waffles, stirred into oatmeal or yogurt, or add to your favorite peanut butter toast.
