Making your own healthy strawberry chia seed jam is easy and delicious! My simple recipe uses only 5 ingredients for a refreshing, nutrient-packed fruit spread. It makes the perfect addition to toast, waffles, pancakes, parfaits, cheese boards, and more! Naturally sweet and versatile, this kid-friendly jam is going to be a staple in your household.

2 servings

½ cups frozen strawberries you can also use fresh (see note); and you can use 2 cups of any other frozen fruit too (berries or stone fruit)

⅕ cup water

¼ pinch sea salt

¼ tablespoons fresh orange juice can also use lemon

⅖ tablespoons sweetener of choice I used maple syrup (optional for added sweetness)

⅔ tablespoons chia seeds depending on how thick you want it

Add the fruit, water and salt to a pot and cook over medium heat until it is softens. About 5 minutes. Once soft, mash it to get the consistency you want. I like it smooth with a few small chunks.
