Ingredients

Instructions

  • Heat the strawberries, pure maple syrup, and lemon juice in a saucepan over medium-high heat, covered. Allow the mixture to come to a full boil then reduce the heat to a controlled boil and continue cooking until strawberries have softened, about 10 to 15 minutes. Mash the strawberries using a fork or a potato masher, until your desired consistency is reached (I like to leave mine fairly chunky). 
  • Add the ground cinnamon, sea salt, and chia seeds and stir well. Continue cooking, uncovered, until the mixture thickens, about 8 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow the jam to cool for 10 minutes. Add the pure vanilla extract and stir well.
  • Transfer the jam to a bowl and refrigerate until chilled (note: you can also put the bowl in the freezer for about 40 minutes and stir periodically to speed up the process). Once cool, transfer the jam to a sanitized jar and seal it well. Jam keeps in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
