Maple Strawberry Chia Jam
Ingredients
600 g frozen strawberries
80 g chia seeds
60 ml maple syrup
Instructions
Add the frozen berries to a small saucepan over low to medium heat.
Cook for 7–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fully defrosted, soft, and juicy.
Mash the berries with the back of a fork or potato masher to your desired texture.
Stir in the maple syrup while still warm and mix well.
Remove from heat, add the chia seeds, and stir thoroughly so they’re evenly distributed.
Leave to cool and thicken in the fridge before using.
Leaven Heaven Notes
This quick jam can be made w/ any frozen fruit you like. I prefer it with mixed berry myself, but my boys adore strawberries, so mom makes strawberry. LOL
