Homemade Strawberry Jam
The easiest 3 ingredient strawberry jam. This is a great alternative to traditional store-bought jam.
There’s nothing better then waking up on the weekends with fresh baked goods and jam. This jam will make everyone think you spent hours in the kitchen even though it takes just 20 minutes.
I love this jam because it’s a little bit tart and can be altered based on your taste buds. If you like more sweetness, then you can add extra honey. It also includes chia seeds with have loads of nutrients, fiber, and antioxidants. This is my go-to “healthy” jam.
What makes this great is that there are no preservatives and processed ingredients which makes it the healthier alternative to store-bought jam.
Jam can be used for:
- Breakfast toast, biscuits, croissants
- Crackers
- Topping for ice cream
Homemade Strawberry Jam
The easiest 3 ingredient strawberry jam. This is a great alternative to traditional store-bought jam.
Ingredients
- 2 cups strawberry hauled, cut into slices
- 1-2 tbsp honey or maple syrup
- 2 tbsp chia seeds
Instructions
- Place strawberries in small saucepan on medium to low heat. As the strawberries begin to soften add honey. Start with 1 tbsp of honey. Add more honey depending on sweet preference.
- Stir strawberries. Use a fork or potato masher to break pieces up (if you like your jam chunky leave more pieces whole).
- Once strawberries are completely softened, add chia seeds, and stir. Remove from heat and let jam cool down. This allows for jam to get a gelatinous texture.
- Enjoy on toast, crackers, or anything you like!
- Note: Refrigerate any jam that is not eaten. There are no preservatives and has not undergone traditional canning process, so jam needs to be refrigerated to keep fresh.
