In the last couple of weeks, I have come across a great deal of strawberries. But despite my lucky find, what I could think of was a quick fruit salad. As I browsed through recipes for ideas, I came across this one. The results were amazing......most jam recipes take a while to prepare. This recipe takes me 15 minutes to prepare and on top of that, the chia seeds add great nutritional value.
