Homemade Raspberry Jam with Chia Seeds
Ingredients
- 2 cups raspberries
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
Preparation
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the raspberries and cook until they start to break down, stirring and mashing frequently, about 10 minutes.
Turn the heat to low, stir in the maple syrup, lemon juice and vanilla extract. Then stir in the chia seeds and turn off the heat.
Allow the mixture to stand for 5-7 minutes until the chia seeds thicken the jam and the mixture to cool down. The jam will continue to thicken as it cools.
Serve immediately, or transfer the jam to a jar and store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
