Strawberry Chia Seed Jam

By BlueSchmoo

Ingredients

• 2 1/4 cups chopped strawberries, finely chopped into 1/4 inch pieces
• 3-4 tbsp sugar, to taste (or other liquid sweetner to taste)
• 1-2 tbsp chia seeds
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Preparation

Step 1

For the jam: In a medium sized pot, add the chopped strawberries and sugar. Heat over medium until the strawberries begin to sweat and it gets a bit watery. Once it cooks down a bit, add in the chia seeds, and stir well. Bring to a low boil and then simmer over low to medium heat for at least 10-15 minutes. Once it has thickened a bit, remove from heat and cool for 15 mins (you can pop it in the fridge or freezer to cool quicker). I like to add the mixture to a mini food processor and process it until mostly smooth.
