Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 cups frozen mixed berries (blueberries, blackberries, raspberries)
- 3 Tbsp chia seeds
- ½ Tbsp honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
Instructions
- Heat Berries: Add the frozen mixed berries to a small pot on the stove over medium heat. Leave the pot uncovered and be attentive to avoid burning.
- Cook Until Soft: Stir occasionally while cooking until the berries are completely defrosted and soft, releasing most of their liquid so the mixture becomes soupy.
- Add Chia and Sweetener: Remove the pot from heat, then stir in the chia seeds and honey or maple syrup until well combined.
- Cool and Set: Let the mixture cool in the pan for about 10 minutes to allow the chia seeds to thicken the jam. Serve immediately or store for later use.
Notes
- You can adjust the sweetness by adding more or less honey or maple syrup according to your taste.
- For a smoother texture, you can mash the berries with a spoon while cooking.
- Chia seeds help thicken the jam naturally without needing pectin or gelatin.
- This jam can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- Perfect as a spread for toast, yogurt topping, or swirled into oatmeal.
