Raw Strawberry Chia Seed Jam
This simple, raw jam uses fresh or frozen strawberries combined with chia seeds for a naturally thickened, no-cook spread that’s sweetened to taste. Ideal for a quick, nutritious addition to breakfast or snacks, it’s a low-sugar, fiber-rich alternative to traditional jams.
Ingredients
- 1 cup strawberries fresh or frozen and thawed
- 1 tablespoon water or less, depending on how "juicy" your berries are
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- liquid sweetener honey, maple syrup, stevia, etc. (optional)
Instructions
- Mash strawberries using either a fork, potato masher, blender or food processor until desired consistency.
- Add water, chia seeds, and sweetener, if using, and mix very well until everything is incorporated.
- Transfer jam to a glass jar, cover, and place in fridge for at least 1 hour to set up.
- Enjoy as you would regular jam.
Notes
Jam should last about 1 week in the fridge. Adapted from Eating Bird Food
