This no-refined-sugar strawberry jam has the added benefits of fiber from chia seeds—and it’s super quick. No slaving over a hot stove!

Ingredients

• 2 cups strawberries, sliced (or any local fruit)
• 1 tablespoon raw, organic honey
• 1/2 cup water
• 2 tablespoons chia seeds

Instructions

1. Add strawberries, honey and water to a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, uncovered, on medium-high heat.
2. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium and add chia seeds. Continue to lightly boil, uncovered, for 5 minutes, stirring every minute or so.
3. Transfer mixture to a jar and allow jam to cool on the counter. Use right away or cover and refrigerate overnight to thicken completely.

Notes

To keep recipe vegan, an alternative sugar, such as agave nectar, coconut nectar or coconut sugar, can be used in place of the honey.
