Even though purchasing pre-made jam works, if you are seeking methods to lower your sugar intake, then this homemade strawberry chia jam recipe is perfect for you.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#039;s a failure of our star ingredients. Better still, this recipe can be created in the microwave or around the stovetop.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Strawberries: <\/strong>You can use fresh or frozen strawberries. The good thing regarding using frozen strawberries is they enable you to get this to recipe any time of year. You&#039;ll also get all of the nutritional advantages of strawberries, including fiber and ascorbic acid, no matter which version you select.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Chia Seeds: <\/strong>Our thickening agent. Chia seeds absorb the moisture in the strawberries and make multiplication super thick &#8211; just like store-bought jam. They&#039;re extra nutritious, too! Chia seeds provide dietary fiber and omega-3s to help promote gut and brain health. <strong> <br \/><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Maple Syrup: <\/strong>This is our sweetener &#8211; and I would still count this as added sugar. However, the nice thing about this recipe is you can adjust the amount to meet your needs. The amount we&#039;re using here&#039;s still much less than you&#8217;ll encounter with store-bought jam. Better still, if your strawberries are actually sweet as well as in season, you might find you do not even need the syrup. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/greenfuturemedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220403051248-25.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Strawberry Chia Jam Recipe<\/h2>\n<p><\/p>\n<h3>Ingredients<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>2 cups frozen strawberries<\/li>\n<li>2 tbsp chia seeds<\/li>\n<li>2 tbsp maple syrup<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n<h3>Instructions<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li>Add your frozen strawberries to a medium-size saucepan and produce to medium heat to completely thaw.<\/li>\n<li>As the strawberries thaw, lightly mash with your cooking spoon or spatula. <\/li>\n<li>Once completely thawed and mashed, remove from heat and add in the maple syrup and chia seeds.
