Chia Strawberry Jam

Low Carb Chia Strawberry Jam

This combination of Chia seeds and Strawberries is delightful. The swelling of the Chia seeds makes the jam set up so you don't need to add anything else other than the strawberries.

Ingredients:

1 cup strawberries

1/4 cup Chia seeds

2 tsp Stevia if you want extra sweetness but I don't think it is at all necessary.

Cook the strawberries until they are mushy. You can use fresh or frozen.

Put that into a blender and add the Chia seeds. You can also add the Stevia at this time.

Blend until it is all liquid just about 30 seconds.

Done! You can use this while it is hot as a syrup for your low carb waffles or put it in a half pint jar and keep it in the refrigerator. It will set up nicely once the Chia seeds have a chance to gel.
