Easy Chia Seed Jam Three Ways
 
 
Ingredients
  • Blueberry Vanilla Chia Jam:
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (I used frozen, thawed)
  • ¼ cup water
  • 1 tablespoon honey or other liquid sweetener of choice
  • ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • Raspberry Lemon Chia Jam:
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries (I used frozen, thawed)
  • ¼ cup water
  • 1½ tablespoons honey or other liquid sweetener of choice
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • Strawberry Ginger Chia Jam:
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries (I use frozen, thawed)
  • ¼ cup water
  • 1 tablespoon honey or other liquid sweetener of choice
  • ½ teaspoon freshly grated ginger or ¼ tsp ground ginger
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
Instructions
  1. Begin by blending or mashing the fruit (blueberries, raspberries, or strawberries) with the water until you have a purée consistency.
  2. Add the fruit puree to a bowl or jar and add in the chia seeds, sweetener, and lemon, ginger, or vanilla.
  3. Stir everything well to combine and place in the fridge for a minimum of 2 hours, the jam will thicken the longer it stays in the fridge. I find the best consistency is achieved overnight.
  4. Enjoy the jam as desired and keep in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Notes
Each Chia Seed Jam recipe makes about 1 cup of jam.
