Chia Seed Jam

This jam is so quick and easy to knock up, and so much better for you than the regular stuff. Jam is usually made with a 1 to 1 ratio of fruit to sugar. Seriously??? 1 to 1?? That’s just wrong.
The chia seeds help to thicken the jam, as well as adding all their awesome benefits, such as fibre, protein and Omega 3s.

 

Method

Place berries in a saucepan over a medium heat.
Simmer for 5 minutes or so until fruit starts to breaks down.
Help break it down further with a spoon or a potato masher.
Add the honey and chia seeds and simmer for a few more minutes.
Transfer to clean jars.

Makes approximately 4 cups of jam.
