Ingredients
Scale
- 10 ounces frozen strawberries or 3 heaping cups of fresh berries*
- 2 Tablespoons chia seeds
- 2–4 Tablespoons maple syrup or honey, to taste (leave out for Whole30)
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine the strawberries and maple syrup. Bring to a boil over medium-low heat. Cover and cook until the berries release their juices and are soft about, 5-10 minutes. Fresh berries will cook faster.
- Using a fork, mash the berries to your desired texture.
- Stir in the chia seeds. Remove from heat.
- Allow jam to cool in saucepan for about 10 minutes., stirring a few times to evenly distribute the chia seeds. The jam will thicken up as it cools and the seeds absorb the juices.

Notes
The same recipe can be used with almost any fruit you like. Fresh or frozen berries, peaches, mangoes, cherries, and more all work beautifully.
