Chia Seed Jam Recipes

Steps:

• Soak chia seeds in water until mixture has a jelly-like texture, about 5 minutes.
• Heat raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, strawberries, and honey in a saucepan over medium heat until berries are soft, about 15 minutes. Lightly crush berries with a fork or masher.
• Stir chia seed mixture into berry mixture. Remove from heat and let cool for at least 10 minutes.

Steps:

• Combine the berries and water in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring frequently, until the fruit is broken down and the mixture is saucy.
• Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the chia seeds, lemon juice, honey (start with a small amount and add more as needed, depending on how sweet the fruit is), and salt.
• Let sit for 10 minutes to allow the chia seeds to hydrate and thicken the jam.
• Then transfer to a resealable jar. The jam will keep in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Bring 4 cups raspberries, 1 cup sugar and 2 tablespoons lemon juice to a simmer in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring and mashing the berries, until thickened, 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in 1 tablespoon chia seeds. Refrigerate until cool.

Steps:

• Put the raspberries in a pan with the vanilla and honey, then cook over a low heat for 5 mins or until the berries have broken down.
• Stir through the chia and cook for 10 mins. Set aside to cool completely (it will thicken significantly as it cools). Spoon into a bowl or sterilised jar. Great on toast, swirled through porridge or in yogurt. Will keep in the fridge for up to one week.
