Ingredients

• 4 cups fresh strawberries
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 3 tablespoons chia seeds
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the fresh strawberries under cold water to remove any dirt or residue. Hull and dice them into small pieces. You should have approximately 4 cups of diced strawberries.

Step 2

Place the diced strawberries into a medium-sized saucepan. Use a potato masher or fork to crush the strawberries until they are mostly smooth with some chunks remaining.

Step 3

Add the honey, chia seeds, and fresh lemon juice to the saucepan with the strawberries. Stir until all ingredients are well combined.

Step 4

Heat the mixture over medium heat. Bring it to a gentle boil while stirring frequently to prevent sticking or burning on the bottom of the pan.

Step 5

Once the mixture reaches a boil, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes. Stir occasionally, allowing the chia seeds to thicken the jam.

Step 6

As the mixture thickens, taste for sweetness and adjust by adding more honey if desired.

Step 7

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 8

Let the jam cool to room temperature; it will continue to thicken as it cools.

Step 9

Transfer the Paleo strawberry jam to a clean glass jar or airtight container. Seal and refrigerate for up to two weeks.

Step 10

Enjoy your Paleo Homemade Strawberry Jam spread over Paleo-friendly bread, added to yogurt, or as a delicious condiment for your breakfast or dessert.
