🫙 Serving Tip:

Use 1–2 tbsp per serving on:

  • Low-point toast
  • WW pancakes
  • Plain Greek yogurt
  • Cottage cheese

🥄 Your Clean Honey-Sweetened Version:

(Makes a larger batch — about 3–4 jars worth)

  • 8 cups strawberries
  • ½ cup honey
  • Juice + zest of 1 lime

Cook as above, but skip the chia seeds. Honey adds sweetness and shine, but will increase the points to about 1–2 pts per tbsp, depending on how much jam the batch yields.
