- 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.
