Homemade Strawberry Jam with chia seeds which is thick, sticky and glossy which is super simple to make and can be used to spread on bread or on pancakes.

There is nothing satisfying as a homemade jam. And what better when the fruit is home grown! Here is Homemade Strawberry Jam made with our homegrown Strawberries. We at home don’t use much of jams and preserves. But whenever we use it is homemade jams. Homemade Strawberry Jam with chia seeds which is thick, sticky and glossy and is one of our favourite jams which we usually top it on pancakes.

Homemade Strawberry Jam with chia seeds which is thick, sticky and glossy which is super simple to make and can be used to spread on bread or on pancakes.

Method

Soak chia seeds in a cup of water and let it bloom for half and hour.

Clean and chop the strawberries into smaller chunks.

Take strawberries, sugar in a sauce pan and place it on low flame.

Let the sugar melt and strawberries start cooking in it.

Keep stirring it occasionally to avoid the jam from sticking to the bottom of the saucepan or from burning.

When the strawberry is cooked and soft mash them using a fork and break them completely.

Add bloomed chia seeds and cook till the strawberry jam is glossy, sugar completely soaked up and thick.

Add lemon juice to this and give it a good mix.

Let the jam be slightly runny than you desire as it will thicken as it cools. Take it off the flame.

Keep stirring it while it cools down as well.

Once the jam completely cools down, refrigerate it in a jar and use it with a week or two.

This jam doesn’t have much of shelf life as we aren’t using any preservatives.

Enjoy it on toasted bread or with pancakes.

*you could also use a mixed berries instead of just strawberries. A mix of blue berries, strawberries and cranberries is good.
