Everyone loves a good PB&J sandwich, but there is nothing better than when your jam is homemade! I recently went strawberry picking at a local farm, and I figured this was a great way to use of some of the strawberries before they go bad. I've always been a blueberry and raspberry jam girl, but I can firmly say strawberry is my fave now! It is so underrated. This jam is loaded with nutrient dense ingredients, and only includes 3 main ingredients: strawberries, chia seeds, and pure maple syrup. Yup, so that means this jam is refined sugar free! You can't beat that. This jam is super simple, healthy, quick, and delicious.
