Main Ingredients

  • 3 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped frozen works too; thaw first
  • 2 tbsp water
  • 2.5 tbsp honey or maple syrup adjust to taste
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 3 tbsp chia seeds
  • 0.5 tsp vanilla extract optional
  • 0.125 tsp fine sea salt

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Rinse, hull, and chop the strawberries.
  • Warm strawberries, water, and salt in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring until juicy and bubbling, 6–8 minutes.
  • Mash fruit with a fork or potato masher to your preferred texture.
  • Stir in honey and lemon juice. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
  • Sprinkle in chia seeds while stirring. Cook 1 minute, then turn off the heat.
  • Let the jam stand 10–15 minutes to thicken, then stir in vanilla.
  • Transfer to a clean jar, cool completely, and refrigerate.

Notes

Variation: Swap strawberries for raspberries, blueberries, or peaches. Start with 2 tbsp chia and add more if the fruit is very juicy. Serving tip: Spread on toast, swirl into yogurt, or spoon over pancakes. Storage: Refrigerate up to 2 weeks or freeze up to 2 months.
