Servings: 5 servings
Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 cups frozen strawberries
- 2 tablespoons lime juice plus zest 1 large lime
- 2 tablespoons water
- ⅓ cup Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoon chia seeds
Instructions
- In a small skillet, add the strawberries, lime juice, and water. Simmer over medium heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. About halfway through the simmering time, begin breaking down the berries by smashing them with a fork into a chunky but uniform texture.
- Once the berries are broken down, stir in the maple syrup, vanilla extract, chia seeds, and lime zest until combined, about 30 seconds.
- Turn off the heat. Let the skillet sit for about 5–7 minutes until the chia seeds thicken the jam.
- Transfer to a jar and refrigerate; the texture will set even further when chilled.
Notes
My Top Tip: If you want a smoother jam, use an immersion blender to puree the strawberries after they cook down.
Storage: Store the strawberry chia jam in an airtight container, preferably glass, in the fridge. It will last in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. After that, it will start to lose its freshness.
Freezing: Place the jam in a freezer-safe container and store it in the freezer for up to 6 months. When you're ready to use it, thaw it in the fridge overnight.
