This delicious jam captures the sweet, fresh flavour of strawberries. It's far more tasty than shop bought jams and what's more, isn't laden with refined sugar! Clever chia seeds help the mixture to thicken and set, creating a jam-like texture. It works well spread on toast, dolloped onto porridge, added to puddings and pancakes, the list goes on! Trust me, once you try this you'll want to add it to everything- not to mention wanting to try other berry flavours!
