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.
