Cook the Berries: In a saucepan, combine the strawberries, honey, and a pinch of salt. Add a dash of water to prevent burning and bring to a gentle simmer.

Add the Chia Seeds: Once the fruit starts to break down and become jammy, stir in the chia seeds. Simmer for another few minutes, stirring occasionally, until the jam thickens to your desired consistency.

Cool and Store: Remove from heat and let cool. Transfer to a glass container and store in the fridge for up to a week.
