Ingredients

  • 2 cups chopped strawberries
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup (or less, depending on sweetness of berries)
  • 2 tbsp chia seeds

Instructions

  • Place the strawberries in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the strawberries have started to break down and release their juices.
  • Mash the strawberries with the back of a fork or a potato masher. (You can decide how smooth/lumpy you’d like it to be – I like mine with some lumps of strawberries still in there).
  • Stir in the maple syrup and chia seeds and cook for minute. Remove from heat.
  • Let sit for 5-10 minutes. The jam will thicken up. Store in the fridge for up to 4-5 days. Enjoy!

Notes

  • If your berries are super sweet, you may only need a half tablespoon of maple syrup. If they are very bitter, you may need a little more maple syrup.
