Loading...Ingredients
- 300gr (10 1/2 oz.) fresh or frozen strawberries
- 3 tbsp Chia Seeds
- 3-4 tbsp honey, agave syrup, or, any other sweetener of your choice. (taste it. in case you want the jam sweeter, add some more sweetener)
Instructions
Mash the strawberries in the food processor, for a few seconds. If you don’t have one, mash it with a fork, but make sure to do it evenly.
In a bowl, pour the pureed strawberries, Chia seeds and honey and mix well.
Transfer the mixture in a glass jar and place it in fridge for at least 6 hours.
Notes
Keep in mind that frozen fruits will need minimum mashing, or maybe, no mashing at all. You will just have to wait for the fruits to thaw.
And the jam is ready! Serve it for breakfast, mixed with yogurt and cereal, ice cream, desserts, etc.
Instead of strawberries you may use all kind of berries, or cherries (pitted). If you do so, let me know!
Strawberry Jam with Chia seeds can be kept in the fridge in a glass jar for about 3 weeks. Although, it will disappear much faster!
