Equipment

  • small saucepan
  • measuring cup
  • measuring spoons

Ingredients

  • 2 cups frozen berries - any variety or a mixture
  • 4 tbsp chia seeds
  • 3 tbsp honey or any liquid sweetener of choice e.g. maple syrup, coconut syrup, rice malt syrup
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Add frozen berries, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla and a quarter cup of water to a saucepan.
  • Simmer the mixture over a moderate heat. As the berries start to defrost, stir the mixture firmly so the berries break down into smaller chunks and start to form more of a puree (that will become the jam!). At the same time, the chia seeds will start to swell and absorb the liquid in the saucepan.
  • Once the berries have dissolved to your liking, turn the stove off and let the mixture sit in the saucepan for 10-15 minutes while it cools. The jam will continue to thicken. Stir once or twice to make sure the chia seeds are fully incorporated.
  • Scoop the jam into a clean jar, seal and place in the fridge until it’s chilled. Then, it’s ready!
