Sugar-free strawberry jam with chia seeds
Quick and easy recipe for a sugar-free strawberry jam with only 3 ingredients
Servings: 2 cans
Const: low
Equipment
- 1 saucepan
- 1 ladle
- 1 glass jar with lid
Ingredients
- 700 g 24.69 oz washed strawberries roughly chopped
- 50 g Chia seeds
- 1 Tbsp Agave syrup (optional)
Instructions
- Wash the strawberries and chop them coarsely. If you prefer jam without too many pieces of fruit, you can also blend your strawberries.
- Put the strawberries in a pot and let them cook over medium-high heat.
- When you see the strawberries begin to soften, mash them well with the help of a potato masher. let them cook for a few more minutes.
- Once a smooth, liquid consistency is reached, remove the pot from the heat and add the chia seeds.
- Let it sit for at least 2-3 hours so that the chia seeds can activate and create the jelly-like effect of the jam we seek.
- After the 3 hours have passed, put the jam into two jars and store them in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days.
Notes
- I used no sugar for this jam but the recipe also lends itself to larger amounts of sugar
