Ingredients
- 500 g strawberries, raspberries, blueberries or blackberries
- 50 g white chia seeds
- 25-50 g maple syrup / alternative sweetener
- 1 tsp vanilla paste or 1 vanilla bean, seeds only
- Up to 50 g coconut water
- Up to 25 g lemon juice or apple cider vinegar
Instructions
- In a food processor (or see Note for stove-top method), blitz berries, chia, sweetener and vanilla until thoroughly combined. Add coconut water and lemon juice and blitz again.
- Place in a jar and refrigerate.
- Jam will be ready after 3 hours.
Note
• Alternative Method: Place all ingredients except chia into a small saucepan and simmer over a low temperature, stirring occasionally, until fruit is starting to collapse and juices release are starting to form a syrup (this could take up to ten minutes). Stir through chia seeds until thoroughly incorporated, place in jars and close lid whilst steaming to seal. Refrigerate.
• Consume jam within a week due to minimal preservatives.
