Method
- Add the fruit (1 1/2 cup blueberries) to the saucepan and put the saucepan on a low heat. If you are using fresh fruit you may need to add a tablespoon of water just to help the fruit begin to cook.
- Gently stir the fruit and as it begins to cook and the fruit starts releasing it's juices. At this point begin to mash it a little with either a wooden spoon or spatula to break the fruit down further.
- Once the fruit has made a nice juicy but not too thin puree, cook it for around 3 minutes.
- At the end of this time take it off the heat and allow it to cool a little.
- Stir in the chia seeds (1 1/2 tablespoon chia seeds) and maple syrup (3 tablespoon maple syrup) to taste. Leave it a few minutes for the jam to cool and the chia seeds to begin to swell.
- Once the chia jam has cooled, spoon it into a clean jar and seal with a lid. It will continue to thicken in the fridge.
- Store in the fridge for up to 1 week and use as a conventional jam.
