Nothing better on the weekend than fresh hot biscuits or scones slathered with fresh home made jam. Here’s an EASY and HEALTHY option you can whip up in no time. Great for the holidays or gifts as well. Chia seeds instead of pectin.
Fresh Jam with Chia Seeds
3 cups fresh blue berries (or black berries, strawberries, mixed berries, or pitted stone fruit like ripe plums, apricots)
1/4 cup chia seeds
1/4 cup agave nectar (or sweetener of choice)
1 tsp. vanilla
Place fruit in a small saucepan, warm over low heat until the berries burst (or fruit melts) About 5 minutes.
Add the sweetener and the chia seeds, stir constantly for about 15 minutes until the jam has thickened.
Remove from heat, add the vanilla
enjoy on your morning breakfast!
put into a jar and keep in the refrigerator, keeps for weeks, clamp top or weck jars and a ribbon for the holidays.
