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. |
