Do you consume jam on a daily basis? I like to spread my toast with peanut butter and jam and sometimes I like to top my overnight oats with jam. It adds that extra sweetness to my morning. =)
A lot of store bought jams are loaded with sugar. If you were to read the ingredients list, sugar is usually listed as the 1st ingredient and it’s definitely not the best option. So why not make your own healthy jam instead?
MIXED BERRIES CHIA JAM
1. 2 cups Fresh or Frozen Mixed Berries
2. 2 tbsps. Honey or Maple Syrup
3. 2 tbsps. Chia Seeds
MANGO CHIA JAM
1. 2 cups Mango, peeled & diced into cubes
2. 2 tbsps. Honey or Maple Syrup
3. 2 tbsps. Chia Seeds
PEACH CHIA JAM
1. 2 cups Peach, diced
2. 2 tbsps. Honey or Maple Syrup
3. 2 tbsps. Chia Seeds
Each tablespoon of jam has about 25 Calories.
STEPS:
1) Measure the fruits into 2 cups each. You can choose to use either fresh or frozen fruits.
2) Place fruits in a small pot over medium heat. You can choose to sweeten with 2 tbsps. of honey or maple syrup. This is optional.
3) Then mash the fruits until it reaches the consistency you like. I like to have some fruit chunks in my jam.
4) Bring the mixture to a simmer for about 5 minutes until it forms a saucy consistency. Stir frequently.
5) Then add in 2 tbsps. of Chia Seeds and continue to stir for another minute until all ingredients are well combined.
6) Remove from heat. Let it sit allowing the chia seeds to fully expand and thicken the jam. This should take about 10 minutes. The jam will continue to thicken as it cools.
7) At the point, if you like your jam to be thicken, you can add another teaspoon or 2 of chia seeds and let it sit for another 10 minutes.
8) Pour into a jar and it’s ready!
Store in the fridge and this will keep up to 2 weeks. These chia jams are looser and more sauce-like compared to the traditional store-bought jam. You can use it just like your typical jam – spread it on toast, stir into oatmeal or spoon it over yoghurt. Yuummzzzz!!
How do you like to have your jam? Let me know in the comments below. Pick a fruit or fruits of your choice and try this recipe out.
