Raspberry Chia Jam (3 Ingredient)
3 ingredient raspberry chia jam, THE easiest recipe on my blog. My favourite low sugar jam that you can add to anything from yogurt and toast to cookies.
Servings: 1.2 cups
Ingredients
- 3 cups of berries frozen or fresh
- 2-4 tablespoon maple syrup to taste
- 2 tablespoon chia seeds
Optional for flavour
- 1.5 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine berries and maple syrup, stirring frequently until a smooth consistency begins to form. Once the berries begin breaking down, reduce the heat and simmer for about 5 minutes (I use a potato masher to help ensure the jam is smooth!).
- Add in the chia seeds, stirring frequently for about 15 minutes until the mixture thickens.
- Once thick, remove the pot from the heat and stir in the vanilla or lemon juice. Allow jam to cool completely before pouring into a mason jar for storage.
