Blueberry Chia Jam
Ingredients
- 2 cups blueberries, fresh or frozen
- 1 - 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
Instructions
1: Add the blueberries and honey to a saucepan over medium heat.
2: Cook, stirring occasionally, until the blueberries start to break down and release their juices (about 5 - 10 minutes).
3: Mash the blueberries with a fork or potato masher to your desired consistency.
4: Stir in the chia seeds. Reduce the heat to low and cook another 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens.
5: Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the jam cool for a few minutes.
6: Taste the jam and add more honey if desired.
7: Transfer the jam to a clean glass jar or container and let it cool completely. Once cooled, cover the jar and refrigerate for 1 - 2 hours to allow the chia seeds to absorb the mixture and fully thicken the jam.
Notes
Use the Blueberry Chia Jam as a spread for toast, bread, pancakes, yogurt, oatmeal, peanut butter sandwiches, or desserts.
