    How to Make Vegan Strawberry Jam

    Full steps for this vegan raw strawberry jam are in the printable recipe card at the bottom of the post. This is a quick walk through on how it is made. 

    1. Start by adding water and chia seeds into a bowl. Stir and let sit for 1 hour. 
    2. Once the chia seeds are a thick paste, you will add the fresh strawberries, and sweetener to a blender. 
    3. Blend until it is pureed. 

    Tips for Making Raw Vegan Strawberry Jam

    Blender or Food Processor 

    You will want to add all your ingredients into a food processor or high speed blender. Then turn on and let it puree the mixture. 

    Scrape Down The Sides 

    When blending make sure to take a spatula and scrape down the sides and lift any stuck on bits in the bottom of your blender. Sometimes you will find the berries splatter to the walls and don't puree fully. 

    Variations to Raw Vegan Strawberry Jam

    Fruit 

    So this is made with strawberries, but you could easily swap it out for any fresh berries you would like. Blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, or any other fruit of choice. 

    Sweetener 

    So I used a liquid sweetener but this is of course optional. If you don't want to sweeten the jam you do not have too. Or you could use a maple syrup if you prefer. 

    Strawberry Jam FAQs

    How to know my chia seeds are ready to be pureed? 

    You want your chia seeds to become a thick paste in the cup. As the chia seeds soak in the water they will expand. And in around an hour or a bit longer you will find they have swelled nicely and create a thick paste. 

    How to store this fresh jam? 

    You will want to put the vegan jam in an airtight container and store in the fridge for up to 5 days. Since there are no preservatives, it will spoil faster than a bottle of jam from the store. 

    Can you freeze the strawberry jam? 

    To be honest I have never frozen chia seeds in a jam. So I can't say for sure if the texture will be different once it thaws from being frozen. I would think the texture could alter a bit. So if you do try let me know in the comments.
