Ingredients
 

  • 4 cups halved fresh strawberries 1 pound fresh strawberries
  • 1 TBS fresh lemon juice
  • 2 TBS raw honey or to taste- if your berries are very ripe, you may not need sweetener!
  • 4 TBS chia seeds

Instructions
 

  • Remove the stems of the strawberries, and slice the strawberries in half.
  • Place the strawberries, lemon juice, and honey in a saucepan over medium-high heat.
  • Allow the mixture to boil lightly for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Once the strawberries are softened, start mashing the mixture with a potato masher or a whisk until it reaches the desired consistency.
  • Remove the pan from heat, add the chia seeds, and stir until well combined.
  • Transfer the jam to a jar, and allow to cool for about 15-20 minutes. Place the lid on the jar, and store in the refrigerator until ready to use.
  • Because this jam does not contain preservatives it will last a couple weeks in the refrigerator. During strawberry season, I make several jars and keep them in the freezer. Jam freezes very well and then you can enjoy this fruity jam all year long!
