Steps:
- Chop the strawberries and place them in a saucepan together with the water.
- Bring to the boil (lid on), then turn down the heat medium and let it bubble away for 15 minutes. Only add the lemon juice if you want to store the jam for longer than 1 week - it prevents the growth of bacteria.
- Mash the strawberries with a potato masher (or with a fork), then continue to cook on low-medium for another 30 minutes until reduced by half. You want it to bubble peacefully. Bubbles will become smaller as the liquid evaporates. Stir regularly with a spatula to prevent the jam from burning. Towards the end of cooking, stir constantly.
- Taste. If necessary, sweeten with 1 tbsp of powdered erythritol.
- Add the ground chia seeds and stir. Cool and fill into a sterilised jar. Store in the fridge.

Tips:
- Select ripe and flavorful strawberries: The quality of your strawberries will greatly impact the taste of your jam. Choose ripe, red berries that are free from blemishes.
- Use a food processor or blender to chop the strawberries: This will help to create a smooth jam consistency. If you do not have a food processor or blender, you can finely dice the strawberries by hand.
- Add a natural sweetener of your choice: The amount of sweetener you add will depend on your personal preference. Some popular options include erythritol, stevia, and xylitol.
- Use lemon juice to enhance the flavor of the jam: Lemon juice helps to balance the sweetness of the strawberries and adds a bit of tartness.
- Cook the jam over medium heat, stirring constantly: This will help to prevent the jam from sticking and burning. It is important to stir the jam constantly to ensure that the heat is evenly distributed.
- Allow the jam to cool completely before storing it: Store the jam in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
