Ingredients

✓480 ml fresh or frozen mixed berries
✓30 ml chia seeds
✓15 ml pure maple syrup
✓1 tsp fresh lemon juice

Instructions

Place the berries into a small saucepan over medium heat and cook for 5 to 7 minutes until warm and juices release naturally.

💡

Tip:Use a wooden spoon to gently break down larger berries as they soften.

Mash the fruit with a fork or potato masher to reach your desired consistency, leaving small chunks for texture or crushing completely smooth.

Remove the saucepan from the heat, then stir in the chia seeds, maple syrup, and lemon juice until thoroughly combined.

💡

Tip:Taste and add an extra teaspoon of sweetener if your berries are particularly tart.

Let the mixture stand at room temperature for 10 minutes to allow the chia seeds to swell and gel, creating a thick jam texture.

💡

Tip:The jam will thicken even further once refrigerated.

📝 Chef's Notes

Transfer the finished jam into a clean glass jar with a tight lid. Store in the refrigerator for up to 10 days, or freeze in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
