Ingredients

1	pound fresh strawberries, hulled and roughly chopped
2	tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice
2	tablespoons white sugar
¼	teaspoon grated orange zest
2	tablespoons chia seeds
1	(8 ounce) jar with lid

Instructions

1.	In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the fresh strawberries, freshly squeezed orange juice, white sugar, and grated orange zest. Stir the mixture gently and bring it to a gentle boil. Lower the heat to medium-low and allow it to simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
2.	Introduce the chia seeds into the pot and stir well to incorporate. Continue to simmer until the jam takes on a thicker consistency, for an additional 5 minutes. For a smoother texture, utilize a potato masher to break down any large fruit pieces. Allow the jam to cool completely; it will further thicken as it cools. Transfer the jam into a jar with a lid and refrigerate for future enjoyment.
