• porcijos: 5 servings
• aktyvus laikas: Prep: 15 minutes
• bendras laikas: 30 minutes

Ingredientai

• 1/2 lb. of frozen strawberries (2 cups whole or 1-1/2 cups sliced)

• 1 tablespoon of lemon juice (or 1/4 teaspoon of citric acid)

• 2 tablespoons of water

• 1/2 cup maple syrup

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 3 tablespoon chia seeds

Nurodymai

• In a small saucepan, add strawberries, lemon juice and water. Simmer over medium heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. About halfway through the simmering time, begin breaking down the berries by smashing them with a fork or potato masher into a chunky but uniform texture.

• Once the berries are broken down, stir in the maple syrup, vanilla extract, and chia seeds, and simmer for about another 30 seconds.

• Turn off the heat. Let the jam sit for about 5-7 minutes until the chia seeds thicken the jam.

• Transfer to a jar and refrigerate; the texture will set even further when chilled.
