Ingredients
  

Fruits
  • 1 cup mixed berries Use a combination of your favorites, whether fresh or frozen.
Thickening Agent
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds Look for high-quality, organic chia seeds.
Sweetener
  • 1-2 tablespoons maple syrup Adjust to taste; can swap with honey or agave syrup.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine your berries. Cook them down until they start to break and bubble, about 5 minutes.
  2. Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the chia seeds and maple syrup until well combined.
  3. Allow the mixture to sit for about 10-15 minutes for the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken the jam.
  4. Stir well again and transfer the jam into a clean jar.
  5. Store it in the fridge for up to a week.

Notes

Store in an airtight jar in the refrigerator. Can be frozen for longer storage. Use within one week.
