Strawberry Rose Chia Jam
You guys were such big fans of my How To Make Chia Jam: 3 Ways post, that I’ve decided to share another fun, flavourful twist on a classic chia jam recipe! This Strawberry Rose Chia Jam uses rose water for a unique and delicious take on chia jam. It may sound fancy, but I promise it’s super fast, simple, and only uses 6 ingredients!
What Is Rose Water?
Rose water is made by distilling rose petals. Although it’s not super common in Western cooking, it’s a popular ingredient in Middle Eastern cuisines. It tastes absolutely delicious in desserts, puddings, baked goods, beverages, and (of course) jams. Rose water also pairs well with different spices (like cardamom), nuts (like pistachios), and fruits (like berries). I once had a rose water custard in a New York City restaurant and it was insanely delicious!!
While I love to keep things simple in my cooking, sometimes it can be really fun to introduce a new and special ingredient to my pantry. Rose water has recently become a welcomed addition and I’ve been experimenting with it lots. If you’re interested in trying this recipe – I used this rose water from Amazon!
How To Use Strawberry Rose Chia Jam
My favourite use for this strawberry rose chia jam is paired with a plain Greek yogurt breakfast bowl. I’ve also been loving it on nut butter toasts. Or, you can get creative and try it with vanilla ice cream, rice pudding, or paired with baked goods!
Making Chia Jam
Chia jam is not only healthy (it’s rich in fibre, omega-3s, and antioxidants), but it’s incredibly easy to make. This recipe is no different! All you need is about 10 minutes of cook time, followed by 10 minutes of rest time. For more in-depth instructions, check out my post on how to make chia jam.
