Strawberry-Orange Chia Jam - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 pound fresh strawberries, hulled and roughly chopped
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice
2 tablespoons white sugar
1/4 teaspoon grated orange zest
2 tablespoons chia seeds
1 (8 ounce) jar with lid

Preparation

Place strawberries in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add orange juice, sugar, and orange zest. Stir to combine and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes.
Add chia seeds and stir to combine. Simmer until jam starts to thicken, about 5 minutes more. Use a potato masher to break up large pieces for a smoother texture. Cool completely; jam will continue to thicken as it cools. Pour into the jar and refrigerate.
