Strawberry Chia Jam

Here I'm using strawberries (or blueberries) and chia seeds to make a delicious jam that really lets the flavor of the fruit shine. Most fruit jams contain significantly more sugar than actual fruit, but not this one. Strawberries and blueberries are lower in pectin compared to other berries, so chia seeds are used as a thickener. You can also check out my Low Sugar Berry Jam for a blackberry (or raspberry) version, which has no chia seeds since these berries contain more pectin
