Strawberry Chia Seed Jam

One of the best alternatives to regular jam is chia seed jam. It creates the perfect gelatin texture from the seeds without the pectin in real jam. You are also in control of how much sweetness you add to the chia seed jam. If you are trying to avoid sugar, this recipe is great! It is also an excellent way to add some fiber and omega-3s into your everyday.
