Ingredients

• 1 cup small strawberries

• 1/2 cup water

• 3 tablespoons chia seeds (32 gr)

• 2 tablespoons honey (42 gr.)

Preparation Steps:

• Place all ingredients in a small pot.

• Bring to a boil and maintain over medium-low heat. We must maintain the boil so the sauce thickens but we must be careful that it does not burn.

• Using a fork or a potato masher gently press the strawberries and seeds. Do this until there are no large pieces of fruit left.

• Continue at a boil until the jam reduces and thickens, approximately 20 minutes, stirring so it does not stick.

• Transfer to a jam container or any jar, and let cool in the refrigerator. Serve.

Enjoy!
