Strawberry Chia Jam

Name: Strawberry Chia Jam
Total time: 10 min
Ingredients: 3 cups of strawberries chopped; 1/4 cup chia seeds; 1/2 tsp of lemon juice; 2 tbsp maple syrup (you can add more or less depending on your preference)

Today’s recipe is so easy, you can make it with your eyes closed. I have been absolutely loving adding jams to my oatmeals and deserts, and honestly cannot believe I waited this long to make it.

This strawberry chia jam is really quick to prep and can be used all week when stored in the fridge. Plus, the great thing about making your own jam is that you can adjust the sweetness. I prefer mine a little more tart while others may prefer a much sweeter option.

[…] Together the ice cream and the crepes balance each other out very well. You can top the crepes with some fresh berries and nut butter (I prefer almond butter because of its sweet and caramel taste). I also added a bit of my strawberry chia jam (the recipe is available here) […]
