Start by washing the mixed berries thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or residues. Drain well.
Cut the strawberries into smaller pieces if they are large. This ensures even cooking for all the berries.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the mixed berries, honey, lemon juice, and water.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once it starts boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring frequently.
As the berries soften, gently mash them with the back of your spoon or a potato masher to achieve a chunky texture, or blend quickly with an immersion blender for a smoother finish.
Add the chia seeds to the fruit mixture; these will help thicken the jelly as it cools.
Simmer the mixture for an additional 5 minutes, then remove the saucepan from the heat.
Allow the jelly to cool slightly before transferring it into sterilized glass jars. Seal tightly.
Let the jelly cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate it for at least 3 hours to set properly before serving.
