- 2 cups fresh strawberries hulled and chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 2 tbsp chia seeds
- 2 tbsp maple syrup or honey, adjust to taste
Notes
Storage: Keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. The jam will continue to thicken slightly over time. Make-Ahead Tip: This jam is perfect to prepare a day in advance. The flavors meld beautifully overnight. Variations: Add a pinch of cinnamon or vanilla extract for warmth. For a mixed berry jam, substitute half the strawberries with raspberries or blueberries. Serving Suggestions: Spread on toast, swirl into yogurt or oatmeal, top pancakes or waffles, or use as a filling for pastries.
