A true cooked strawb jam with chia? No, have not, not yet. Sounds like a very good idea though.
Love chia. Use it often.
I just have to be careful not to overuse.

When we move next weekend Mrs B said I can make it.

Schmaltz, or rendered chicken fat, is used in many traditional Jewish dishes. It's added to latkes, stirred into chopped liver, and is a key by-product of making gribenes—salty, addictively crispy chicken cracklings. My Auntie Sadie would rub it on her chest when she had a cough. I always have a jar in the fridge.

My impression is that schmaltz is chicken fat rendered with onions. (I grew up in LA and had lots of Jewish friends and that's how I remember it.) Are you saying that chicken fat in general is called schmaltz?

When I cook a chicken on the backyard rotisserie, I always put a disposable drip pan under it, to catch the rendered chicken fat (to keep the grill clean). But, I often put some quartered red potatoes in the drip pan, seasoned with salt, pepper and a few sprigs of fresh rosemary. The potatoes cook in the dripping chicken fat, and are amazing. Not healthy, I'm sure, but amazing in flavor.

We are having the John Dory tonight. I made my bread today with the usual Kim (caraway) seeds. Mrs B made me add Chia seeds. Has anyone made Chia strawberry Jam ?
