Rhubarb Strawberry Chia Jam Recipe
Description
The jam preparation begins by cooking chopped rhubarb and strawberries with honey over medium heat until the fruit breaks down and releases its juices. Mashing the mixture helps achieve a uniform texture. After five minutes, chia seeds are stirred in and the mixture simmers uncovered on low heat for twenty minutes. The chia seeds absorb liquid and thicken the jam naturally, creating a spreadable consistency.
Once cooled slightly, the jam is transferred to clean containers for storage. Its balance of sweet and tart flavors combined with the rich fruit content offers a fresh alternative to traditional preserves. The use of chia seeds provides a natural thickening without added pectins, making it a simple and wholesome jam choice.
Ingredients
- 3 cups rhubarb chopped
- 3 cups strawberries packed, chopped
- ½ cup honey
- ¼ cup chia seeds
Instructions
- Put the rhubarb, strawberries, and honey into a medium-sized pot over medium-high heat and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and let it simmer uncovered for 5 minutes, or until the strawberries and rhubarb begin to break down. Help break up the chunks by mashing them with a fork or potato masher.
- Once the strawberries and rhubarb have broken down and are sauce-like, add the chia seeds to the pot. Reduce the heat to low and, stirring occasionally, cook the chia jam uncovered for 20 minutes. Prop the lid on halfway if splatters too much.
- Let the chia jam cool slightly before pouring it into clean containers. The jam will last up to 2 weeks in your fridge.
