2 cups of fresh or frozen berries like strawberries, raspberries, or blueberries.
2 tablespoons of chia seeds
1 tablespoon of squeezed lemon juice
Not mandatory. A little bit of honey or maple syrup to make it sweeter.
Directions:
Get the fruit ready: wash and cut fresh berries if you have them; if not, use frozen berries as they are.
Prepare the berries by putting them in a pot on medium heat. When they heat up, they will naturally soften and release their liquids. Help with the process using a fork or a tool to mash potatoes.
Mix fresh lemon juice into the jam to enhance the fruit flavors and give it a nice touch of freshness.
Make thicker with chia seeds. Once the fruit becomes like a sauce, add the chia seeds and mix them in thoroughly. Chia seeds not only make the jam healthier but also help thicken it naturally. Lower the temperature and let the mixture cook gently for a few minutes until it thickens like jam.
Chill and Serve: Take the jam off the heat and allow it to cool down. It will keep getting thicker during this period. Keep in a sealed container in the fridge.
This jam without sugar shows that you can enjoy sweet things in life without adding sugar. Whether you put it on toast, mix it into oatmeal, or add it to yogurt, this jam will bring happiness and health to your breakfast table. Enjoy the delicious taste of homemade jam every day!
