Chia Seed Jam
In just a few minutes (20 minutes at most!), you can make a homemade jam from fresh berries that is naturally sweetened and thickened with chia seeds.
Ingredients
- 2 cups Berries Raspberries, Blueberries, Strawberries, Blackberries
- 2 tablespoon Chia Seeds
- 4 tablespoon Water
- 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
- 2 tablespoon Pure Maple Syrup or Honey optional
Instructions
- Add berries, lemon juice, water and sweetener to a small stove top pan and bring to a simmer for 5-7 minutes until berries are cooked. Crush the berries with a fork or back of a spoon once softened.
- Remove from heat and stir in the chia seeds until well combined.
- Mash berries more if needed. At this point, you can either leave the jam chunky or blend. I personally use a handheld immersion blender to smoothe.
- Let cool to thicken, then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.
