Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh strawberries
- 0.25 cups water
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
Directions
Step 1
Wash and hull the strawberries, then cut them into halves or quarters depending on their size.
Step 2
Place the strawberries in a medium-sized saucepan and add the water. Cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until the strawberries begin to release their juices.
Step 3
Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for another 10 minutes, continuing to stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Step 4
Use a potato masher or the back of a spoon to gently mash the softened strawberries to your desired consistency.
Step 5
Stir in the lemon juice and chia seeds, mixing well to combine.
Step 6
Allow the mixture to simmer for an additional 5-10 minutes, stirring frequently until the jam thickens to your preference. Keep in mind that it will continue to thicken as it cools.
Step 7
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the jam cool completely.
Step 8
Transfer the jam to a clean glass jar or airtight container and store it in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
Step 9
Enjoy your Whole30 Homemade Strawberry Jam on top of your favorite Whole30-approved breakfast dishes or as a topping for snacks.
