Strawberry Chia Freezer Jam- Mom

• 1 cup strawberries (frozen or fresh)
• 1 Tablespoon chia seeds
• 1 Tablespoon water
• stevia, to taste (or other sweetener, like maple syrup)

Instructions

1. If using frozen strawberries, let them thaw. I try to limit my use of the microwave so I just sat mine in a bowl out on the counter for an hour or so.
2. Mash strawberries with a fork or blend them. I mashed one batch and used my immersion blender for another - both methods worked great, but the blended version was more like jelly and less like jam.
3. Mix in chia seeds, water and stevia, if using. I used 2-3 drops of liquid stevia, but I don't think it would be necessary with super sweet berries. It just depends on how sweet you want your jam.
4. Cover the mixture and place in the fridge to set up for a while, 30-60 minutes is ideal.
