Ingredients

• 2 cups (300g) blueberries – fresh or frozen
• 3 tablespoons chia seeds
• 1/4 cup water
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• Optional: pinch of cinnamon or a drop of vanilla extract
• Swaps and Notes:
• Berries: Swap in raspberries, blackberries, or strawberries—or use a mixed berry blend.
• Texture: Mash less if you like a chunky jam, or puree for smooth.
• Optional Sweetener: A touch of stevia or monk fruit is optional if your berries are tart.
• Thickener: No pectin needed—the chia seeds naturally gel up the mixture!
• How to Make Blueberry Chia Jam:
• Simmer: In a saucepan, combine blueberries, water, and lemon juice over medium heat.
• Cook: Let it simmer 5–8 minutes until berries burst. Mash with a fork for texture.
• Stir in Chia Seeds: Remove from heat and stir in chia seeds (plus cinnamon/vanilla if using).
• Rest: Let the jam sit for 15–20 minutes to thicken. Stir occasionally.
• Taste & Adjust: Add optional sweetener if desired.
• Store: Transfer to a clean jar. Store in fridge for up to 2 weeks.
• Tips for Success:
• Use ripe, sweet berries for the best natural flavor.
• Stir the jam a few times during thickening to prevent clumping.
• If you're using frozen berries, no need to thaw—just add a minute or two to the simmer time.
• Serving Suggestions:
• Spread on whole grain toast or sourdough
• Swirled into oatmeal or chia pudding
• Dolloped on pancakes or cottage cheese pancakes
• Mixed with Greek yogurt or layered in parfaits
• Used as a topping for banana bread
• Storage & Leftovers:
