Low-Sugar Strawberry Freezer Jam

This strawberry freezer jam is the ultimate quickly preserved jam! Made with a drastically lower amount of sugar than traditional freezer jams, it’s thickened with chia seeds with no loss of flavor. The true essence of the strawberries shines through and will be perfect to use at a later time.

INGREDIENTS
- 5 lbs strawberries, washed and hulled
- 1 1/4 cups sugar
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1/2 cup chia seeds
Instructions
In a large stock pot, combine the hulled and washed strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Use a potato masher to crush the berries slightly. Place the stock pot over medium heat and bring to boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes.
Once the jam has cooked for 5 minutes and the sugar is dissolved, remove the jam from the heat. Add the chia seeds and stir. Allow the chia seeds to thicken for 5 minutes and stir again. Check the consistency of the jam by placing a small amount on a frozen plate. As the jam cools, it will show its true consistency. Add more chia seeds, one tablespoon at a time, and allow them to thicken for 5 minutes until the desired consistency is achieved.
Pour into airtight containers, label, and freeze the jam. The jam will freeze solid but will thaw in the refrigerator overnight. If kept in the refrigerator, the jam will last 2-3 weeks.

Canning doesn't scare me but the sugar sure does. Even the low sugar sure gel recipes are so sweet to me. I just got some monkfruit to try.

The strawberries in our area are so sweet, I hate to add all the sugar most recipes call for. This is a nice alternative!

[@Freckles30473]

How many lbs of strawberries and how much sugar and how much chia seeds please

[@dianaburtondigital]

Great video! Okay...off to find somewhere to go strawberry picking this weekend. Curious if we could use other berries as a substitute, blueberries maybe? Also, loving that you don't need a ton of sugar!

[@mollylyons5620]

Can you use blackberries with same recipe?

[@Godschild52909]

Could I put some vanilla on wirh the berries? Or would it spoil?

[@Speakupok]

Do you have a recipe to make ice cream?

[@susandempsey8139]

Do you think this would work with a sugar alternative?

[@VickyShawcooksalot]

Since you're using chia seeds to thicken sugar substitute is fine.

[@mariaserpa-gauvin8405]

I cannot use chia seeds ... allergy. What could I use instead?

[@pricklypine8863]

Have you tried basil seeds

[@Mike84501]

You could do this same recipe but with raspberries couldn't you?
