Raspberry Chia Jam

The jam we needed

Jam is yummy. But the storebought one is nearly always filled with up to 50% refined sugar! Now, that’s definitely not what I want to have in my breakfast bowl. A healthier option? Homemade raspberry chia jam that only requires 3 ingredients (plus a few drops of water). You can decide how sweet you want it to be and take charge of what you allow into your system. Byebye store-bought, too-sweet refined sugar jams and hello delicious and nutritious raspberry chia jam!

Servings: 1 jar 

Total time: 10 min

For the jam

Ingredients

2 cups raspberries, fresh or frozen

2 tbsp chia seeds

2-3 tbsp maple syrup (depending on how sweet you like it)

Instructions

1. In a pot, heat the berries, chia seeds and maple syrup. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash of water. Let the jam simmer for about 10 minutes with occasional stirring. The chia seeds will thicken up the jam during the cooking process but even more when storing it.

2. Let the jam cool and then transfer into a jar. Store in the fridge for up to 5 days.
