Strawberry Rhubarb Chia Jam

Ingredients

  • 2 Cups Rhubarb in ½ -inch slices
  • 1/3 Cup Maple Syrup (More to taste)
  • 3 Cups Stemmed, Quartered Strawberries
  • 1 Tbsp. Chia Seeds

Directions

Combine the rhubarb and maple syrup in a medium saucepan. Place over medium heat and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and simmer gently until the rhubarb is tender and just starting to break down, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Stir in the strawberries and simmer until the jam is reduced by about a third, 10 - 15 minutes. The berries should be very soft and falling apart but not completely disintegrated; I like them to hold a bit of a shape in the finished jam.

Stir in the chia seeds and cook 1 minute more. Remove from the heat. Transfer the jam into jars and chill until set, at least a few hours and up to 2 weeks, or freeze for longer storage.
