Easy Chia Seed Jam
Easy Chia Seed Jam - an absolutely delicious and easy recipe for chia jam. Packed with nutrition and perfect for your next pb&j!
Ingredients
- 2 cups fruit blackberries, raspberries or strawberries
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons fresh lemon zest minced
- 1-2 tablespoon real maple syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
Instructions
- Combine ingredients in a medium sauce pan.
- Mash down berries with a fork or potato masher.
- Bring to medium heat, turning down as-needed, while allowing the berries to heat up and start to break down.
- Once berries are broken down and mushy (takes about 5-7 minutes) and everything is combined, let simmer gently for 5 more minutes.
- Remove from heat and let cool. The jam will continue to thicken during this time.
- Once it is cool, transfer to a mason jar (or other sealable container) and store in the refrigerator.
Notes
- Strawberries: if using strawberries I would recommend chopping them first so they break down faster.
- Maple Syrup: feel free to use more or less, depending upon how sweet you want your jam. You can substitute honey for this if you want.
- Storage: chia seed jam stores in your fridge in a sealed mason jar for up to a week or two.
