How Long Does Chia Jam Last?

Chia jam will last for up to a week stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Can Chia Jam Be Frozen?

Yes! Let the jam set up before freezing in a freezer-safe jar for up to 3 months. Let it thaw in the refrigerator overnight before using.

Can Chia Jam Be Canned?

I don't recommend canning chia jam since the amount of sugar isn't very high and I'm unsure of the acidity level with chia seeds. If you prefer to make a large batch, I recommend freezing extra jam (see above).

Can I Use Frozen Fruit?

Absolutely! You can use frozen strawberries and/or rhubarb. Just add a few minutes to the cook time to allow the fruit to get nice and soft before mashing.

Yield: 2 1/2 cups 1x
Category: spread
Method: stovetop
Cuisine: American

Ingredients

Scale

2 cups diced strawberries
1 1/2 cups diced rhubarb (about 2 stalks)
1/3 cup honey (use maple syrup or agave nectar for vegan)
1 tbsp lemon juice
3 tbsp chia seeds

Instructions

In a small saucepan, bring strawberries, rhubarb, and honey to a gentle simmer. Cook, covered, about 10-15 minutes, stirring frequently, until strawberries are soft.
Mash strawberries with a fork or potato masher until broken up.
Turn off heat. Add lemon juice and chia seeds and stir. The jam will thicken up as the seeds absorb the liquid and the mixture cools. You can either let it cool and thicken in the pan, or pour it into storage containers while it is still warm.
Pour into a container with a lid and store in the refrigerator up to 1 week.

Notes

Use agave nectar or maple syrup in place of honey for a completely vegan option.
You can use frozen strawberries and/or rhubarb if you'd like. You may nee to add a few minutes to the cook time to allow for defrosting.
Chia jam can be frozen. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator.
