Instructions
Place the strawberries and lemon juice in a small frying pan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat until the strawberries have considerably dissolved, about 4-5 minutes.
Turn off the heat.
Transfer the strawberries into a small bowl. Add the honey. With a stick mixer, pulverize the mix for 10 seconds. Add the chia seeds and mix well with a spoon. Transfer to a container with a lid and refrigerate for 4 hours-overnight.
The chia seeds will have absorbed the strawberry liquid and turn it into a thick jam.
Notes
Use within 1-2 weeks depending on how fresh your strawberries are. Keep it in the refrigerator in a sealed container.
