Peanut butter is such a typical American treat. I remember that it was impossible to get it in my home country when I grew up and even now it is not as easy to find as you may think. When I was a kid my sister went to Canada through school and she brought the famous PB&J sandwich to our house. Funny enough, I disliked it. It was not like anything I have ever had before. Now, that I live here for many years already, I am definitely hooked on that combination. And who doesn't like a creamy dessert? Not me, the creamier the better.
PB&J Layered Cream Dessert

1 tbsp Peanut Butter
_______________________________
1) Chop the strawberries to small pieces.
2) Heat a pan to medium heat and cook the strawberries until they release liquid. Add lemon juice and vanilla extract. Add chia seeds and cook until jam is thickening. Let cool completely.
