Ingredients

  • 1 pound fresh fruit strawberries, blueberries, raspberries
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

  • Slice any fruit you're using, such as strawberries, nectarines, apricots, etc., into small pieces. To little berries, nothing needs to be done.
  • Add the fruit, maple syrup, and lemon juice to a pot over medium heat. Using your spoon to aid in the fruit's breakdown, simmer for 5-7 minutes.
  • After blending the fruit with an immersion blender or potato masher, turn off the heat.
  • After adding the chia seeds, pour the jam into a jar for storage. Put the food in the fridge to cool.
