Thaw the strawberries in a saucepan. Then add 1 tablespoon of water and heat everything on the stove. Peel the banana and mash it with a fork. Add the banana, chia seeds, lemon zest, and vanilla to the strawberries and remove the pan from the heat. If desired, stir in finely chopped basil leaves (about 5 leaves). Basil goes well with strawberries and gives the jam an additional delicate flavor. Purée the mixture with a hand blender until smooth and pour into a small preserving jar. Let the jam rest for at least 30 minutes, preferably 24 hours, so the chia seeds can swell. The jam will keep refrigerated for about 1 week.
