Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh strawberries
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds (optional)
Instructions
Wash and hull the strawberries, removing the green tops.
Place the strawberries in a large mixing bowl and mash them with a fork or potato masher until they reach your desired consistency (chunky or smooth).
Add the granulated sugar to the mashed strawberries and stir well until the sugar dissolves completely.
Mix in the lemon juice, which enhances the flavor and acts as a natural preservative.
If you prefer a thicker jam, stir in the chia seeds. Allow the mixture to sit for 5 minutes to give the chia seeds time to absorb and thicken the jam.
Transfer the strawberry jam to a clean, airtight glass jar or container.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the jam to set.
Enjoy your no-cook strawberry jam within 1 week for the best freshness.
