Blueberry Jam

Serving size: 2 tablespoons (30mL)

Total Servings: 8

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups of blueberries (fresh or frozen)

  • 2 tablespoons of chia seeds

  • 2 tablespoons of honey

  1. Place the blueberries in a small pot over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, meanwhile mashing the berries until soften and juices are released. Add honey and gently blend.

  2. Turn off the heat, stir in the chia seeds and continue blending. Ideally with a wooden spoon.

  3. Wait about 10 to 15 minutes at room temperature to give the chia seeds enough time to absorb the liquids and form a thick, spreadable gel.
