Ingredients

2 cups Fresh strawberries
1 cup Granulated sugar
2 tablespoons Lemon juice
2 tablespoons Chia seeds (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Wash and hull the strawberries, removing the green tops.

Step 2

Place the strawberries in a large mixing bowl and mash them with a fork or potato masher until they reach your desired consistency (chunky or smooth).

Step 3

Add the granulated sugar to the mashed strawberries and stir well until the sugar dissolves completely.

Step 4

Mix in the lemon juice, which enhances the flavor and acts as a natural preservative.

Step 5

If you prefer a thicker jam, stir in the chia seeds. Allow the mixture to sit for 5 minutes to give the chia seeds time to absorb and thicken the jam.

Step 6

Transfer the strawberry jam to a clean, airtight glass jar or container.

Step 7

Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the jam to set.

Step 8

Enjoy your no-cook strawberry jam within 1 week for the best freshness.
