Ingredients:

2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
2 tablespoons chia seeds
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

In a medium saucepan, combine the chopped strawberries and maple syrup or honey over medium heat

Remove the saucepan from heat and mash the strawberries with a fork or potato masher to your desired consistency

Stir in the chia seeds, lemon juice, and vanilla extract

Mix well
