Gluten and Sugar Free chia seed Jam

Yields1 ServingCook Time15 minsTotal Time15 mins

Delicious, healthy, sugar-free homemade fruit jam made in 15 minutes. Make it with fresh seasonal fruit or even frozen.

 2 cups fresh or frozen fruit (I used strawberries, blackberries and blueberries)
 2 tbsp chia seeds
 2 tbsp water for the chia seeds
 2 tbsp sweetener such as agave or maple syrup, honey or stevia* (for stevia see replacements for quantity) (optional)
1

Soak chia seeds in water and set aside to make a jelly-like texture while you prepare the fruits.

2

Place the fruits and sweetener in a small saucepan and cook over medium-high heat for about 15 minutes.

3

They will begin to soften and release their liquid and boil slightly.

4

Using a fork or potato masher, mash the fruit to desired consistency.

5

Remove the pan from the heat and add the mixture of chia seeds that already must have jelly-like texture.

6

Mix well and leave for at least 10 minutes to cool. The longer it sits the more jammy it gets.

7

When it cools down, put it in an airtight glass container.

8

Enjoy it immediately or store it in the refrigerator up to 10 days.
