Berry, Lemon and Chia Homemade Jam

Simple Berry, Lemon and Chia Seed Homemade Jam

Ingredients

  • 400g (4 cups) berries (fresh or frozen)
  • 4 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla sugar
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds

Instructions

  1. Place the berries and lemon juice in a fairly large pan, then heat for around 10 minutes, just until the berries are nice and soft. If you have any large lumps, just squidge them with a fork.

  2. Add the chia seeds and continue to cook for a further 15 minutes or so until a thick jam consistency forms. Taste and adjust the sweetness if necessary. Remove from the heat, and allow the jam cool completely.

  3. Pour into a jar(s) with a lid. It won't last as long as shop-bought jam, but if you store it in the fridge, it should last for a week.
