Ingredients
  • 4 cups strawberries sliced into quarters or chunks
  • Juice of half a small lemon
  • 2 1/2 tsp cornstarch
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 1 tsp vanilla essence
  • 3 tbsp honey add more to taste
  • 2 tbsp chia seeds optional
Instructions
  1. In a medium saucepan over a medium high heat stir together the strawberries, lemon juice, cornstarch and salt, stirring until the cornstarch dissolves.
  2. Bring to the boil, stirring constantly. Then stir in the water, cover and simmer on a medium low heat for 10 minutes.
  3. If you want a smooth jam, mash the strawberries with a potato masher until you are happy with the consistency. If you want a chunky jam, don’t mash them at all.
  4. Simmer uncovered for another 5 minutes or until the mixture is thickening.
  5. Take the jam off the heat and stir in the vanilla essence, honey and chia seeds (optional), making sure the seeds are evenly distributed.
  6. Let the jam cool for 5 minutes and then pour it into glass jars with airtight lids.
  7. Store the jam in the fridge or freezer.
