Add honey, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and salt to the strawberries.

Mash the mixture with a fork or potato masher until desired consistency is reached.

Stir in the chia seeds until fully incorporated.

Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes to allow the chia seeds to absorb moisture and thicken the jam.

Taste and adjust sweetness if needed by adding more honey.

Transfer the jam to a clean jar or airtight container.

Refrigerate the jam for at least 1 hour before serving to allow it to set further.
