Strawberry Chia Jam (healthy & vegan)
A healthy version of the classic. Quick, simple and so good! Crazily addicting, perfect addition to any sweet meal!
What you will need
- 750 g strawberries
- 150 g chia seeds
- 100-200 g pure maple syrup or honey or cocnut sugar (a healthy sweetener of choice)
- juice of 1 lemon (optional)
How to
-
Remove the green leaves from the strawberries and then cut them in half or in quarters. Add them to a pot along with the maple syrup and the lemon juice.
-
Bring to a boil and let them boil until they are soft and mushy, for about 5 to 10 minutes. If you have one that is heat safe, transfer it to a blender or a food processor, otherwise purée it with a hand blender.*
-
Pour it back into the pot and add the chia seeds. Bring to a boil again and then take it off the heat and let it cool for about 5 minutes. You will immediately see how it starts to thicken.
Transfer to jars and store in the fridge for up to 5 weeks.
Notes
* you can add the chia seeds before blending if you want a smoother consistency. But adding them after makes it really interesting!
