Made with wild strawberries, chia seeds, lemon and cinnamon, this jam thickens using only the chia seeds' natural gelling property, with no added sweetener. It's a practical solution for anyone after a diabetic-friendly breakfast spread.
Lightly crush the wild strawberries in a pot and simmer over low heat for 15 minutes.
Add the lemon juice and chia seeds and simmer, stirring, for another 10 minutes; the chia seeds thicken the mixture without any added sweetener.
Remove from the heat and let it stand at room temperature for 30 minutes; the chia seeds soak up the liquid in this time and thicken it fully.
Make sure the fruit juice is truly simmering before adding the chia seeds, or they won't gel properly. Don't skip the 30-minute rest — that's when the jam really thickens.
Chia tohumu bulamadığım için yerine psyllium kabuğu tozu kullandım, kıvam biraz daha jölemsi oldu ama yine de güzel yayıldı. 30 dakikalık dinlenmeyi 45 dakikaya çıkarmam gerekti, tam koyulaşması için.
Psyllium kabuğu tozu da iyi bir alternatif, chia'dan biraz daha hızlı su çekebiliyor. 30 dakikalık dinlenme çoğu durumda yeterli oluyor ama daha koyu kıvam isterseniz birkaç dakika daha bekletebilirsiniz.
