Ingredients

  • 4 cups fresh or frozen strawberries
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground sumac (optional)
  • 1/4 cup chia seeds

Instructions

  • Place the strawberries in a medium saucepan with the lemon juice, maple syrup, vanilla, and sumac. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat and allow the mixture to simmer for 20 minutes, stirring often.
  • Once the strawberries are soft you can remove the mixture from the heat. Use a fork to mash up the strawberries.
  • Stir in the chia seeds and leave the jam to cool. As the jam cools the chia seeds will form a gel.
  • Once the jam is completely cool it can be transferred into a jar and kept in the fridge for up to a week.
