I love how your videos get right to the point. You don’t talk incessantly about unrelated stuff before you get to the point. They are so full of information. Thanks!

Yesterday I visited 🍓 farm and picked up a huge batch of fruit.. now I am gonna make this and share the jam with all my friends 😋🤩 !! I never fail to find a recipe that suits my need any time any day in this channel!! Love and respect to what you have created!! ❤❤
Made mine with a little over a lb of blueberries, so did 2 limes for juice, and 1 tbsp molasses/1.5 tbsp maple syrup, & 3 tbsp chia seeds. Its amazing! Its more of a blueberry compote but I didnt realize how easy it was to make. Thanks!
Yum - sounds delicious!!
I just made it, it’s a success. Thank you so much for all of your amazing recipes.
Wow, I never thought about using Chia seeds for thickening a jam. I love this idea. I will definitely make this recipe! Thanks for sharing. I use Chia seeds in a lot of things; salads, smoothies, etc.
Wonderful! Chia seeds have so many health benefits and they're really quite versatile. That's great that you use them. :) x

Great alternative to shop bought jam which contains sulfites as a preservative. I am sulfite intolerant and this jam is a Godsend to me .
Glad you enjoyed this chia seed version! 😊
I make large batches of this and freeze portions to have for a few months
Especially in the summer when berries are at their sweetest I do mixed strawberries, raspberries, blackberries and even some blackberries. I squeeze 2 oranges and shave the rind off the skin ( not grated) and add that to the pot for added flavor. I don’t use Maple syrup Or honey- but sometimes I might add a tiny splash of thicker Balsamic syrup to it. Often the fruit is sweet enough not to need additional sweetness.
If doing small batches then you only need a couple of tablespoons. But when I make a large batch I use more chia seeds. The end result always varies because the juice from my berries vary too.
I like it more runny more like a thick compote because I add it over yogurt (or for my family - on strawberry ice cream - amazing!). I leave the the cooked softened orange rind in it to infuse more of the flavor and you can eat it later - or just remove and throw out when ready to serve.
Very versatile and a super yummy treat.
Haven’t made this yet, but have all the ingredients.... I’ll let you know how mine turns out! xo
Wow very tasty 👍👍
Will you get the same results if you grind the chia seeds also can you freeze it? Thanks.
How long can you store this jam in weck jars? I have pounds of strawberries and looking forward to make jam from your recipe but could you let me know how can i preserve it. Should i add lemon or something?
Can I use frozen berries, if you can tell please?
Hello i love your videos! How long does it keep in the fridge..? Can u also tell me how long to keep the nutella and hummus in the fridge too? 😚
Thanks so much Bel! This will keep for about 5 days in the fridge. The hummus is the same (though you can freeze this as well). The nutella and almond butter will keep for several weeks. Hope that helps!
Hi, how long will this be good for once made?
Hi can I replace maple syrup with coconut sugar or honey instead?
Can you grind the chia seeds?
A pound of fruit sliced in quarters
1 Tbsp of lemon juice
Sugar
Chia seeds
I am doing it now
Is there any replacement for maple syrup
You are my favourite ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Can you use frozen strawberries?
👌👌
How long does this last in refrigerator and can you freeze ?
Hey Lisa, again me, again with a question..... isn't it sour??? Or is the maple syrup enough for sweetness?? I was always worried to do my own jam cos I never understood the measuring of added sugar.... now I do not have any excuses to not try do. my own, thank you very much
Nope, it's not sour at all, quite sweet. And super easy. Hope you enjoy it! :)
I like it ..... I have a question if I can use freeze fruit in this recipe?
Yes, absolutely!
Hey, great recipe ! How long can you keep it in the fridge ?
Thanks so much! It will last for up to two weeks in the fridge. :)
I can't wait to give this recipe a shot with some leftover Ontario strawberries I have in the freezer from this summer's harvest. Beautiful video - thanks for the great idea. Can I ask what type/brand of cooking plate you are using in this video? So glad I stumbled upon your channel. Look forward to my weekly dose of YUM 🙋
That sounds like a perfect use for those strawberries! I'm so happy you enjoyed the video (and my channel) Natalie. And the plate is from Crate and Barrel. :) x
Ohhhhh this is soooooooo good👍🏾Can I use honey instead of maple syrup?
Yes, absolutely!
How long will this jam last for in the fridge?
can you add stevia instead of maple syrup?
Can we add water instead of any sweater ?please answer
Can you hot water bath the jam ? If so how long?
Looks delicious. Is there an alternative to maple syrup?
I read in the comments that you can use honey as well :)
Can I use frozen strawberries?
Can i use hone
Hello! I'm about to do it and just notice I have no lemons or oranges or limes handy, can it be substituted for something or would make any significant difference if not added?
If u don’t have any of those citric, just skip it.
How long doest this jam last? Love the recipe!
I would really love to know that as well.
Wondered about that also
Another site said 7 days, but adding lemon juice (which she does) extends the shelf life several more days.
5 days in a fridge. You can refer to the same question posted by another person. She replied 5 days.
With that said, real jam lasts MUCH longer. With chia jam, you’re cheating the thickening process while retaining high moisture content, which will allow mold to grow faster. Chia jam is to be used soon after making, while normal homemade jam has lasted me months without a sign of spoilage
Hey Lisa, is it possible to make this with date sugar or date syrup instead of maple syrup? TIA
I don't see why not. :)
How long does it last?
On how long this keeps??
Thank u Lisa looks ez and delicious question though, can I make this using Frozen fruit? I have some frozen peach in the freezer from last season I'dikw to use up....
Absolutely! And it will probably break down easier/faster with less mashing needed.
Hello! How long can this jam last in the frig?
It lasts for about a week in the fridge. :)
Do you think ground up chia seeds would work?
That's a great questions and I haven't tried it. But just looked online and it seems to work, you'd just have a smoother jam.
Instead of a 👍🏻’s up, how bout 👍🏻👍🏻’s up! I love your channel, so versatile and you even have healthy recipes for people who don’t want to totally eliminate meat from their diet.
Q: How long does the chia seed jam last in the fridge? Thank you in advance. 🍓
I'm so glad you're loving all my recipes so far Tina 😊This will last for up to 5 days in the fridge!
Can you blend it before putting in the chia? I’m not a fan of jam that’s got bits of the fruit in it.
Yeah, you can
@@nokkhotrer.rath. thank you 😊
Can we use frozen strawberry?????
Yes, absolutely!
Is it possible to use frozen fruit?
Yes, it should be fine!
Stevia or Erythritol ???
No heating better nutrition?
💜💚💙❤💞💟💕💖
Can I do this recipe but instead of cooking it I blend it, because cooking it destroys some nutrients
Unfortunately you need to cook it to reduce it.
Suggestion; blend it, and add a pinch of Xanthan Gum found in the bakery aisle. It’s a commercial ingredient that’s used as a general thickener. You’re not removing any water when doing this, so I assume it will go moldy at a similar rate to plain strawberries
1 tablespoon of date syrup instead
Can this recipe be canned?
You can if you want to! I normally store mine in Weck Jars.
About how long will it keep? I would be the only one in my house eating it so I wouldn't be able to make a whole lot.
I usually store mine in the fridge for about a week or so.
Great recipe!! although you wasted nearly half of each strawberry when removing the stems... I am sure there is room for improvement here.
I use a stainless steel straw, 1/2" diameter, push from the bottom to extricate the whole stem. Be sure to cut off the leaves to save all that strawberry. works G R E A T. Got the straw on etsy from Mulled Mind but they closed the store. Hopefully you can find the 1/2" SS straw elsewhere.
Love your site and your recipes, but you sure wasted quiet A LOT of the strawberries when removing the green part...
But is it good??
Why would you waste so much of strawberries 😭
I like the fact that the jam is easy and sugar free. I don't like how you prep your strawberries. You waste a lot of the berry by cutting the top off. Just insert a straw from the bottom and the top will pop off.Then cut as you wish. Waste not want not!
Glad you enjoyed the recipe Evelyn!
Are you vegan?
Sorry, I'd love to watch the video but I just cannot stomach the music. Too bad it's not just a cooking video.
