Ingredients

2 cups fresh or frozen berries

2 tbs chia seeds

1 tsp vanilla extract

lemon juice to taste

Instructions

Gently simmer the fruit in a saucepan for a few minutes. Break up the fruit with a fork or masher.

Add the chia seeds, vanilla extract, lemon juice and honey to taste.

Keep stirring so the chia seeds don’t clump up. Simmer for about 10 minutes until thickened.

The jam will thicken even more as it is cooling.
