Rinse the strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries thoroughly under cold water.
Hull and halve the strawberries to ensure they're all roughly the same size as the blueberries and raspberries.
Add the prepared berries to a large saucepan over medium heat.
Pour in the water and stir the mixture gently to combine.
Simmer the berries for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once the berries have softened, use a fork or potato masher to gently mash the mixture to your desired consistency.
Stir in the lemon juice and honey, mixing well to fully combine the flavors.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the chia seeds.
Let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes, allowing the chia seeds to thicken the confituur.
Once thickened to your liking, transfer the confituur to clean, sterilized jars and let it cool completely.
Seal the jars and store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks or freeze for later use.
