Making jam at home without added sugar is a healthier and simpler alternative. Chia seeds help thicken the jam naturally and provide added nutrients.
Ingredients:
- 4 cups of fresh berries strawberries, raspberries, or blueberries work well
- 1/4 cup of chia seeds
- 1/4 cup of water
- 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
Instructions:
If necessary, wash and chop the fresh berries
Put the berries, water, and lemon juice in a saucepan
Stirring occasionally, cook the mixture over medium heat until the berries begin to break down and release their juices, about 10 minutes
After taking the saucepan off the burner, allow it to cool slightly
Add the vanilla extract and chia seeds and stir
Blend thoroughly
Pour the jam mixture into a lidded glass jar
To help the jam thicken, place it in the refrigerator for at least two hours
Savor your homemade sugar-free jam with yogurt or toast, or use it as a garnish for sweets!
