Easy, Healthy Raspberry Chia Jam

Directions

1. In a small saucepan, cook down the berries on medium heat until they break down, about 5 minutes.
2. Mash the fruit gently in the saucepan and remove from heat.
3. Add in honey (or other sweetener), stirring to combine.
4. Pour in chia seeds and stir gently to combine.
5. Let set for about 5 minutes to thicken.
6. Let cool and transfer to a glass container and refrigerate.

Note: This jam will thicken nicely, but it won’t be very sticky like store-bought preserves. If you choose to use a more watery fruit, or if you want a thicker jam, then add some of the white part, or pith, of a lemon peel. The peel has a lot of naturally occurring pectin, but too much of the lemon peel/zest might overpower the other flavors in your jam.
