EASY CHIA SEED JAM healthy homemade jam recipe

Hey guys, if you love breakfast like I love breakfast, then you are gonna love today's recipe for homemade chia seed jam. It's much healthier than any jam you can buy in the store, and it's much easier to make than traditional homemade jam. So let's get started. I'm making strawberry chia seed jam today, so I'm gonna start by removing the stems and then slicing about a pound of strawberries into quarters. The great thing about this recipe though is it's super versatile, so you could also use blueberries, raspberries, apricots, or pretty much any other fruit. Once your fruit's all sliced up, add it to a pot along with some maple syrup and a teaspoon of lemon juice. Cook it on medium heat for about five to seven minutes or until the fruit starts softening. Then, once it's soft, use a potato masher to break up any of the larger pieces. Add two tablespoons of chia seeds and stir them into the puree. The great thing about chia seeds is that they'll continue to thicken as the jam cools. And that's pretty much it. Pour your jam into a storage container and then place it in the refrigerator. This jam is delicious on my gluten-free banana bread, cassava flour crepes, or mixed into my grain-free porridge, and I'll link those recipes below. Thanks guys for watching.
