STRAWBERRY CHIA JAM

Steps:

• Place strawberries in a saucepan over a medium heat. Cook until the strawberries begin to break down and the mixture is bubbly. The strawberries will become loose and liquidy, about 10 minutes.
• Mash the fruit with a potato masher or the back of a spatula. You can make this as smooth or chunky as you'd like. It all depends on how you like your jam.
• Stir in the chia seeds and lemon juice. Taste the jam and then decide if you want to add sweetener. Start with one tablespoon, if desired and adjust from there.
• The jam will continue to thicken as it cools. Once it has cooled, transfer into an airtight jar and store in the fridge for 1-3 weeks or up to three months in the freezer.

FRESH STRAWBERRY CHIA JAM

Steps:

• Place strawberries, agave, 1/4 cup chia seeds, and lime juice in a large bowl. Blend with an immersion blender until strawberries are chunky. Add remaining 2 tablespoons chia seeds and mix well with a wooden spoon.
• Pour the mixture into two 1/2-pint canning jars. Allow to set in the refrigerator or freezer for at least 8 hours before consuming.

STRAWBERRY-ORANGE CHIA JAM

Steps:

• Place strawberries in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add orange juice, sugar, and orange zest. Stir to combine and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes.
• Add chia seeds and stir to combine. Simmer until jam starts to thicken, about 5 minutes more. Use a potato masher to break up large pieces for a smoother texture. Cool completely; jam will continue to thicken as it cools. Pour into the jar and refrigerate.
