Prep the Strawberries: wash the strawberries, cut the stems, then chop them into small pieces.

Cook the strawberries: In a small saucepan over medium heat, add the strawberries, 1-2 tablespoons of water. Cook for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start breaking down and release their juices. Use a fork or potato masher to mash the berries to your desired consistency.

Add the maple, and lemon juice and simmer for another 2 minutes.

Add Chia Seeds: turn the heat off and stir in chia seeds.

Cool & Store: Remove from heat and let it sit for 5-10 minutes to thicken further. The jam will continue to set as it cools. Transfer to a clean jar and store in the fridge for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 3 months.
