Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 cups frozen blueberries (or any other frozen berry)
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons chia seeds
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients and Boil: In a medium pot over high heat, combine the frozen blueberries, maple syrup, and lemon juice. Bring the mixture to a boil and let it cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the blueberries have burst and the mixture has a saucy consistency.
- Add Chia Seeds and Thicken: Stir in the chia seeds and continue to cook the jam for 1 more minute. Then remove the pot from heat and allow the jam to cool so that it thickens further before serving.
Notes
- You can substitute frozen blueberries with any frozen berries of your choice.
- Let the jam cool completely to reach optimal thickness as chia seeds absorb liquid and gel as it cools.
- Store the jam in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
- Use the jam as a spread, topping for yogurt, pancakes, or oatmeal.
- If you prefer a sweeter jam, adjust the maple syrup quantity to taste.
