Berry & Chia Jam

Ingredients:

      • 1 cups fresh or frozen Raspberry
      • 1 cup fresh or frozen strawberry (strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, raspberries), cherries, peaches, apricots, plums, pineapple, kiwi
      • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
      • 1 tablespoon freshly-squeezed lemon juice
      • 1–2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (only if needed)
      • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
      • Lemon zest (to make your jam a little more tangy)
      • a pinch of spices (such as cinnamon, ginger, or nutmeg, etc.)

Method:

1. Heat fruit in a small saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the fruit is heated through and begins to break down and bubble. Use a spoon or potato masher to mash the fruit to your desired consistency.
2. Stir in the chia seeds and lemon juice until combined. Then stir in 1 or 2 tablespoons of maple syrup (to taste)
3. Stir in the spices and lemon zest
4. Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes.  (The jam will thicken considerably as it cools.)
5. Give the jam one final good stir.  Then serve immediately, or transfer to a sealed container and refrigerate for up to 1 week, or freeze for up to 3 months.
