Start by washing the strawberries thoroughly and removing the stems. Cut strawberries into quarters.
In a medium saucepan, combine the strawberries, lemon juice, erythritol, and water.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the strawberries begin to release their juices and the erythritol dissolves. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
Use a potato masher or the back of a spoon to mash the strawberries to your desired consistency. Continue to cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the mixture to thicken slightly.
Stir in the chia seeds and vanilla extract. The chia seeds will help to thicken the jam further as it cools.
Cook for another 5-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture becomes thick and jam-like.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the jam cool. As it cools, it will continue to thicken.
Once cooled, transfer the jam to a clean, airtight jar or container. Store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
