No-Cook Strawberry Jam

AUTHOR: Tessa Wells

PREP TIME: 15 minutes + 7 hours chilling in the refrigerator

COOK TIME: 7 hours chilling in the refrigerator

SERVINGS: 3 cups of jam

Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons chia seeds

• 3 tbsp. honey

• 2 tablespoons lemon

• 1 lb strawberries fresh or frozen and thawed ( blackberries, blueberries, and raspberries all work well too)

• ½ bottle liquid pectin (Certo) or 1 sachet of pectin crystals

Directions

1. Wash and hull your strawberries or if using frozen berries let them defrost. Add honey and lemon juice.

2. Using an immersion blender, blend until you get the consistency you want. I like to leave a few chunks of strawberries in mine, other people like a smoother jam.

3. Add pectin and mix using the immersion blender for another minute or two.

4. Add chia seed and stir with a spoon.

5. Slowly pour the jam into mason jars and place in the fridge overnight. Jam is good for up to a week in the fridge. You can also keep it in the freezer for long-term storage.
