Strawberry and Chia Jam

 Jam can sometimes be a tricky one to get right but this one is made in the microwave! Chia acts as a setting agent rather than pectin making this the easiest jam you'll ever make.

Ingredients

• 500g strawberries, hulled and quartered
• Juice of half a lemon
• 2tbs chia seeds
• 1 1/4 cups caster sugar

Method

1. Combine sugar, strawberries, lemon juice and chia seeds in a microwave proof bowl. Mix well and stand for 30 minutes. 
2. Place in the microwave on high for 4 minutes, stirring every minute to melt the sugar.
3. Microwave for 20 minutes stirring every four minutes. 
4. Pour into a sterilized jar and let it set overnight.
