Instructions

Step 1

Place the strawberries in a food processor. Pulse until roughly chopped, with some larger chunks remaining. Alternatively, roughly chop them using a knife.

Step 2

Transfer the chopped strawberries to a medium saucepan. Add maple syrup, and lemon juice. Simmer over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes, or until the berries break down and start to bubble, stirring occasionally. Mash until the desired consistency using a potato masher.

Step 3

Remove from the heat and stir in the chia seeds until fully incorporated. Adjust maple syrup, and lemon juice to taste.

Step 4

Set aside for 5 minutes to cool and thicken. Give the jam a good stir.

Step 5

Use immediately, or transfer to glass storage containers with lids. (I use Mason jars.) Refrigerate the strawberry jam for up to one week or freeze for up to 3 months.

Step 6

For Daiya Cream Cheeze & Strawberry Jam sandwiches:

Step 7

Toast sourdough or bread of your choice until lightly crispy. Slather each slice generously, one with Daiya cream cheeze, and the other with strawberry chia jam. Enjoy.
