Step 1

In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, stir together the Fresh Strawberries (600 g) , juice of the Lemon (1/2) , Corn Starch (6 g) , and Salt (1 pinch) , stirring until the cornstarch dissolves.

Step 2

Bring to the boil, stirring constantly. Stir in the Water (80 mL) . Cover and simmer on a medium-low heat for 10 minutes.

Step 3

If you want a smooth jam, mash the strawberries with a potato masher until you are happy with the consistency. If you want a chunky jam, don’t mash them at all. Simmer uncovered for another 5 minutes, or until the mixture is thickening.

Step 4

Take the jam off the heat and stir in the Vanilla Essence (5 mL) , Honey (65 g) , and Chia Seeds (20 g) , making sure the seeds are evenly distributed. Let the jam cool for 5 minutes.

Step 5

Pour the jam into glass jars with airtight lids. Store them in the fridge or freezer. Enjoy!
