Easy strawberry chia seed jam to made on the stovetop with frozen fruit and chia seeds and naturally sweetened with lime and maple syrup.

Strawberry Chia Seed Jam served in mason jar with a spoon surrounded by fresh strawberries

This Strawberry Chia Seed Jam has been persistent in my recipes this past week. 

In the past 7 days, it’s showed up in my Nut Butter & Jam Breakfast Quesadillas AND my SunButter & Jelly Brownies.

So I thought I might as well post it on the blog so it has a forever home here at F&V. 

Because, and this is on record, I will love it forever. 

It’s sweet, strawberry-y, and spreadable, with big strawberry chunks and a fantastic chia texture. 

Oh, and it makes everything from breakfast to snacking to dessert more fun and delicious with minimal ingredients and cook time. 

This Strawberry Chia Seed Jam is made with just 5 ingredients on the stovetop for a sweet summer spread!

What You Need to Make Strawberry Chia Jam

Here’s what you need:

  • 4-5 cups strawberries (fresh or frozen)
  • Juice from 1 lime, squeezed 
  • 3 tbsp filtered water 
  • 2-4 tbsp pure maple syrup
  • ¼ cup chia seeds

That’s it!

I like to use frozen strawberries in mine and save the fresh ones for eating fresh, but either works!

You can substitute the lime with lemon, but the combination of strawberry and lime is really nice and worth trying. 

For a no-sugar-added variation, you can skip the addition of maple syrup altogether.

How to Make Strawberry Chia Jam

First, add the strawberries, lime juice, and filtered water to a saucepan and heat them over medium heat. 

Cover them and cook until the berries are fully broken down.

About halfway through the simmering time, start to break down the berries by smashing them with a fork into a chunky, uniform texture.

Once the berries are smashed, stir in the maple syrup and chia seeds and stir until it’s combined, about 30 seconds.

Turn off the heat and let the skillet sit for about 5 to 7 minutes, until the chia seeds start to thicken up the jam.

After that, you can transfer the jam into an air-tight container and refrigerate it.

The texture will set even further when it’s chilled and will keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

I love my leftover jam spread on toast or rice cakes or dolloped over yogurt, oatmeal, or even ice cream!

Enjoy!

#ad// {NEW!} When everything else feels hard, this #ad// {NEW!} When everything else feels hard, this Thai Carrot Sweet Potato Soup feels easy. 🥕🍠🥣 It also tastes amazing and every warm spoonful is like a comforting embrace. This Thai Carrot Sweet Potato Soup is made on the stovetop with root vegetables and yellow curry paste blended with a spoonful of nut butter. I used a standing blender but you can also use an immersion blender to achieve the creamiest consistency.

I love topping my soup with cilantro, @edenfoods Tamari Roasted Almonds, and @edenfoods Hot Pepper Sesame Oil. 

@edenfoods Tamari Roasted Almonds are infrared roasted organic almonds with complimentary organic tamari soy sauce. They’re a delicious snack packed with protein and fiber. You can enjoy them on their own, added to trail mix, on salads and bowls, or…on soup! 
 
@edenfoods Hot Pepper Sesame Oil is a delicious unrefined expeller pressed toasted sesame oil that is infused with hot red chili peppers. Friends, this stuff is HOT! Just a *drop* adds a big kick to your dressings, marinades, stir-fries, etc. If you have a wild side, add a drop or two to your soup bowl for a little extra heat! 

Feel free to add your favorites, like roasted chickpeas, green onion, and sesame seeds.
