After a super simple, homemade jam recipe with not an ounce of refined white sugar? I’ve got this one covered for you. It's made from just three whole-food ingredients and would rival your nanna’s best. This spread looks, tastes and spreads like jam, without white sugar, additives or preservatives.
Fresh strawberries, chia seeds and honey. So simple. Heat it up, give it a stir and then jar it.
This recipe works well with all berry types, so why not make a few different versions. Think blueberry, raspberry, blackberry or even mixed berry. Or why not go for an old-time favourite – Strawberry Jam.

Makes 2 cups
Ingredients
- 3 cups fresh strawberries (chopped into small pieces)
- 1/2 cup chia seeds
- 1 tbsp honey (optional)
Method
Pop berries into a food processor or blender and blitz to form a smooth consistency. If you prefer your jam chunky, then blitz for only a couple of seconds.
Add strawberry puree to a small saucepan and heat over low heat to a gentle simmer. Stir frequently while the berries are heating up and releasing their own natural sugar.
After 5 minutes, add chia seeds and honey (if using) and continue to heat, stirring constantly for another 5 minutes, or until the mixture reaches a consistency you are happy with.
Keep in mind the consistency will thicken further in the fridge as it sets. Transfer mixture to a lovely glass jar and allow to cool before sealing with a lid and placing in the fridge.
This jam will last for up to 10 days in the fridge in a well-sealed jar. Enjoy!
