Delicious, super easy to make and refined sugar free, kids will love this healthier Strawberry & Peach Chia Seed Jam recipe!

Strawberry & Peach Chia Seed Jam

Jam is usually a bit tricky to make; involving boiling points, thermometers and of course bags full of sugar! But chia seed jam is super easy, taking just 5 minutes to cook. The chia seeds add a powerful nutritional punch to the jam but also help to set it.

I used frozen strawberries in this recipe as the are cheaper and also already hulled, saved some work! I also used canned peaches for the same reason, they cost a lot less and are already de-stoned and peeled. But fresh fruit would work just as well too.

Ingredients

  • 300g / 2 cups strawberries (fresh or frozen)
  • 3 peaches (fresh or canned)
  • 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp chia seeds

Instructions

  1. Chop the fruit into bite sized pieces. If you are using frozen strawberries allow them to defrost slightly to make this easier. Transfer the fruit to a large saucepan on the hob.
  2. On a medium heat cook the fruit for 4-5 minutes until its soft and starting to break down. If necessary, add a little water to help it break down.
  3. Add the honey and then either mash the fruit with a potato masher or blitz with a hand blender. Take the saucepan off the heat an allow the fruit to cool a little before stirring in the chia seeds.
  4. Transfer the jam into jars. Cool completely before putting in the fridge for 1 hour.
  5. The jam will keep in an airtight jar in the fridge for 5 days.
