Strawberry Chia Seed Jam

Over the weekend I went to a huge strawberry festival, where they had rows and rows of beautiful strawberries waiting to be picked. All of them were so luscious, so red, and QUITE big! I ended up getting so many! It was my first time, so the excitement led to me getting a little more strawberries than expected haha:). Well, these strawberries were getting spoiled pretty fast, and there is only so many I can eat in a day because it's a very acidic fruit. I considered making muffins, but then something came to my mind. I really wanted to make something that would go perfect with peanut butter and jelly sandwiches or a topping on delicious pancakes! This recipe is super simple and can last your quite some time! So enough with the rambling, time for the recipe!
