Homemade Strawberry Jam

Today I would like to share a quicky recipe to make your own strawberry jam 😀

I shared the other day how my family and I went strawberry picking, so we have been consuming strawberries now and then. The kids love them with sugar sprinkled. These berries (when strawberry is not actually a berry lol) are so juicy altho small in size.

My recipe makes 1 medium size Mason jar and most likely would be good for a week or so in the fridge, although I doubt it would last that long in this house. My husband loves strawberry jam much lol Come take a look at the steps how I made the jam 😀 First, slice off the stems and give the berry a quick but thorough rinse, then place them berries into a pot and add in sugar.

With a fork or potato masher, squeeze them berries into juice, leaving some rough chunks still.

Then you want to reduce the liquid and dissolving the sugar, so bring the berries to boil for 8 minutes.

After 8 minutes, quickly stir in maple syrup and lemon juice.

Take off pot from heat. Then quickly add in chia seeds and stir. Let mixture stand to room temperature before pouring into jar and your jam is ready 😀

Easy peasy, right? I do not like spending tons of times at the kitchen, when I do not have to, especially in Summer, so my recipes are often that easy 😉

Store jam in the fridge for 7-10 days 😀

Bon appetit!
