Instructions
Cook the fruit
Combine the strawberries, chopped rhubarb, and maple syrup in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes stirring frequently until the fruit has broken down and the mixture is bubbling and saucy.
Add chia seeds
Remove the pan from heat and stir in the chia seeds, vanilla extract, and lemon zest. Let the jam sit for 10 minutes stirring occasionally as the chia seeds absorb liquid and thicken the jam to a spreadable consistency.
Toast the bread
While the jam sets toast the sourdough or whole grain bread slices in a toaster or under the broiler until golden and crispy on the outside.
Assemble and serve
Spread a generous amount of the warm strawberry rhubarb chia jam over each slice of toast. Serve immediately and store any leftover jam in an airtight jar in the refrigerator for up to one week.
