Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups Fresh Berries of choice
- ¼ cup Filtered Water
- 1 tbsp Maple Syrup
- 2–3 tbsp Chia Seeds
- Juice of 1/2 Lemon
Instructions
- Add Berries, Water, and Maple Syrup to a nonstick saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then simmer on medium-low for 10-12 minutes, stirring and mashing berries.
- Remove from heat, stir in Chia Seeds, and let sit for 5-10 minutes.
- Stir in Lemon Juice, transfer to a glass jar, and refrigerate for 7-14 days.
Notes
- Use Strawberries, Blueberries, Blackberries, or any berry mix. Frozen berries need 2-5 minutes extra simmering.
- Maple Syrup can be swapped with Agave, Coconut Sugar, or other sweeteners, adjusting for taste.
- Use 2 tbsp Chia Seeds for a looser jam, 3 tbsp for thicker. I love the 2 tbsp version for spreading!
