Strawberry, Rhubarb Chia Jam

Today a friend of ours, and owner of the amazing Seaway Farms dropped off a flat of strawberries!! (thank you Eileen) What can we create today??? 

 

How about Challenge Friendly Jam? Can it be done?? Of course it can!! Lol  Remember Briar and I are not chefs, we are busy moms just trying to get it done.  So if we can do it, so can you.  lol  Here it goes...

 

Strawberry Rhubarb Chia Jam

Ingredients:
2 cups strawberries, tops trimmed (cut in half)
2 stocks rhubarb (chopped)
1/2 cup packed pitted dates or 15 pitted medjool dates
1/2 cup water
4-5 tablespoons chia seeds

Directions:
Add strawberries, rhubarb, dates, and water to small sauce pan.  Bring to a boil, reduce and simmer about 15 mins until strawberries and rhubarb are cooked down.  Stir in chia seeds, allow to soak up liquid about half hour.  If there is to much liquid continue to add more chia seeds one tablespoon at a time. 

Store in air tight jar, in the refrigerator. This recipe will freeze if you really want to go strawberry crazy and double or triple your batch.
