3-Ingredient Strawberry Jam

Course Breakfast, Side Dish

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ pounds fresh strawberries, stemmed and cut in half
  • ¼ cup honey, add a few extra tablespoons for a sweeter jam
  • 2 tbsp chia seeds

Instructions

  • Add stemmed strawberries and honey to a medium saucepan and place on the stove over medium heat.
  • Stir the strawberries as they begin to soften.
  • Once the berries have softened to the point that they're starting to fall apart, add the chia seeds and stir them well. The chia seeds will help the jam achieve a gelatinous texture.
  • Let the mixture come to a slow boil, stirring continually.
  • Use a fork to break up the berries, if necessary.
  • Continue stirring the mixture over low heat for about 15-20 minutes, until a thick texture is reached, and then remove the pan from the stove.
  • Pour the jam into a clean jar and allow to cool, covered, at room temperature for an hour before placing in the fridge to cool completely.
