Paleo Strawberry date jam
Prep Time: 10 minutes Cook Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients
2 cups chopped organic strawberries
1 tbsp chia seeds + 4 tbsp water
5 tbsp date syrup
1 tsp lemon zest
1 tbsp lemon juice
Directions:
Slice your strawberries into small pieces. No need to do anything to small berries, if using a different kind.
Add 4 tbsp of water to the chia seeds and set it aside until it forms a thick mixture.
In a pot on medium heat, add the chopped berries, date syrup and lemon juice, zest of lemon and thickened chia mixture. Simmer for 5-7 minutes, using your spoon to help the fruit break down and until you start seeing jam like consistency.
Use the back of the spoon or immersion blender to mash or puree the fruit, then turn off the heat. Place in the refrigerator to cool.
