This super easy Springtime recipe will help ease you into this delightful season, with its gift of berries that mother nature brings.

With only 3 ingredients needed to make this fresh Strawberry Jam. None of the ingredients are complicated and you’ll more than likely have everything you need already in your kitchen cupboards.

Most homemade jam recipes use up to 300g of Pectin Sugar, when using the same amount of Strawberries in this recipe!

Instead, this healthy version uses over 95% less Sugar ( only 9 grams in total )! The type of sweetener used here is much more wholesome, instead of the traditionally used Pectin Jam Sugar.

To create the thickness of this Jam, Chia Seeds are used. These magical seeds not only absorb a lot of liquids, they turn a perfect Jam-like consistency once hydrated. Chia seeds also pack a powerful Omega 3, Fibre and Protein punch – Win Win all round!

This wholesome Strawberry Jam is perfect for adults and kids alike. Whether you enjoy a PB + J sandwich or traditional Scone. The recipe can be enjoyed in numerous ways such as stirred into porridge, added into a smoothie, spooned over yogurt or used in baking.

Instructions
  1. Start by Rinsing your Strawberries and cutting them in half. This will aid in the breaking down process of the strawberries whilst cooking.
  2. Add the halved Strawberries to a suitable sized saucepan and place on the cooker over a medium heat.
  3. Add the Agave Nectar to the Strawberries and stir well until the Strawberries begin to soften - Approx 10 Minutes.
  4. Once the mixture has softened, mash the strawberries using a fork or potato masher until you get an even consistency. You can have the jam a chunkier texture if you prefer.
  5. Put this back onto the heat and add in the Chia Seeds. Continue to stir until the mixture comes to a slow boil.
  6. Reduce to a low heat and continue to stir for approx 15 minutes.
  7. Remove from the stove and simply pour the hot strawberry jam straight into a Jar of your choice and secure the lid. Mason Jars work well for this.
  8. Allow the Jam to cool to room temperature before storing in the fridge. Once mixture has cooled for a couple of hours the mixture will continue to thicken to a perfect jam like consistency. The Jam will keep for 10 - 14 days stored in the fridge.

The winter is upon us once more and after creating my own recipe for Vegan Baileys last year, I had to make up another batch as a special winter warmer treat again!

I no longer drink alcohol apart from special occasions ( A glass of Red or a refreshing Beer is my go to choice – Vegan of course!) so when that moment arises, I make sure its an enjoyable Vegan alternative.

During the Chilly festive season I USED to love settling down with a glass of Baileys poured over ice or paired with a coffee. Since becoming Vegan last year I successfully made my own Vegan alternative to this highly loved Irish liqueur and I’m very happy to be sharing this creamy, smooth and warming drink with you.

This is also relatively cheap to make 🙂 compared to the purchasing the ‘Vegan Baileys Almande’ which is now on the market at around £20 a pop!

The recipe includes 6 ingredients, most of which are kitchen cupboard staples found in any vegan kitchen and takes less then 10 minutes to make!

Enjoy a lil treat this winter and I would love to know how you like this recipe 💛
