Blackberry Chia Jam
The easiest way to make homemade jam when you've got lots of blackberries!
Ingredients
- 12 ounces blackberries about 2 cups
- 1 tablespoons chia seeds
- optional: 2-3 tablespoons of any sweetener honey, maple syrup, sugar, agave or stevia to taste
Instructions
- Rinse berries and remove any that are over-ripe. Place them in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. No additional water is needed, unless the berries don't give off much juice.
- Reduce heat to low, cover pot and let berries simmer for about 10 minutes or until softened.
- Remove from heat and mash berries with a fork. If a smoother jam is desired, puree them in a food processor and strain off any solids.
- Taste berries and add sweetener if necessary.
- Add chia seeds. Stir to combine well and let fruit cool for about 15 minutes.
- Spoon thickened jam into jars, and store for 2-3 weeks in the refrigerator.
Notes
If you prefer a thicker jam, add an extra tablespoon or two of chia seeds.
