Before ever trying to make chia jam, I was under the impression that it’s really complicated (and messy) to make homemade jams. If that wasn't enough, I was sure you must add tons of sugar in order to make it delicious.

Boy, was I wrong! Chia jam is not only delicious and refined sugar free, it’s also full of nutrients that are great for our body. Chia seeds contain fiber, protein, omega 3 fatty acids, antioxidants and important bone nutrients. That is why chia is considered one of the healthiest foods on the planet - a true SUPERFOOD.

Instructions

  1. Add the strawberries and sweetener of choice (optional) to a saucepan and set over medium heat.

  2. Cook and stir occasionally until the strawberries start to soften and break down (about 5 minutes). Mash the strawberries using a fork, back of a spatula or a potato masher, making it as smooth as you like.

  3. Stir in the chia seeds and remove from the heat. Allow to cool for a few minutes. If the jam is not thick enough you can add more chia seeds (0.5 tbsp at a time), just take into consideration that the jam will continue to thicken and set once completely chilled.

  4. Transfer the jam to a clean jar or an airtight container and keep refrigerated.

Notes

  • The jam is good for about 2 weeks when kept refrigerated in a jar or an airtight container.

  • This recipe is based on many chia jam recipes I tested over the years.
