Homemade Berry Chia Jam
Ingredients
- 3 cups fresh or frozen berries (e.g., strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, blueberries)
- 3 Tbsp maple syrup or honey
- 3 heaped Tbsp chia seeds
- 1/2 cup water
Preparation
Add fruit, sweetener and water to a pot. Stir over a low heat until the mixture starts gently bubbling.
Take off the heat and gently mash the mixture together with a potato masher. Mash it less if you want a pulpy jam.
Add in chia seeds and stir well. Leave for a few minutes as the jam begins to set, with the chia seeds swelling up to form a thick mixture.
Enjoy the jam.
Tips
Spread on peanut butter toast or swirl into your morning oatmeal for a filling and naturally sweetened breakfast.
