Prep the Strawberries: wash the strawberries, cut the stems, then chop them into small pieces.
Cook the strawberries: In a small saucepan over medium heat, add the strawberries, 1-2 tablespoons of water. Cook for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start breaking down and release their juices. Use a fork or potato masher to mash the berries to your desired consistency.
Add the maple, and lemon juice and simmer for another 1-2 minutes.
Add Chia Seeds: turn the heat off and stir in chia seeds.
Cool & Store: Remove from heat and let it sit for 5-10 minutes to thicken further. The jam will continue to set as it cools. If you prefer a smoother texture, blend the jam using an immersion blender.
Transfer to a clean jar and store in the fridge for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 3 months.

Storage: Store the strawberry chia seed jam in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to 1 week. You can also freeze it for up to 3 months and thaw as needed.
Strawberry Substitute: You can easily swap strawberries for other berries like raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, or even a berry mix.
Sweetener Options: The sweetener is optional. You can use honey, maple syrup, agave syrup, coconut sugar, or even a few drops of stevia or monk fruit sweetener for a low-carb option. Adjust to your taste!
Chia Seed Substitute: If you don’t have chia seeds, ground flaxseeds can work as a substitute, but the texture will be slightly different.
