  • 2 cups Berries Raspberries, Blueberries, Strawberries, Blackberries
  • 2 tablespoon Chia Seeds
  • 4 tablespoon Water

Equipment

Method
 

  1. 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.
  2. Remove from heat and stir in the chia seeds until well combined.
  3. 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.
  4. Let cool to thicken, then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.
