Deliciously Simple and Healthy Jam for Busy Mornings ☀️
ingredients:
- 1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries | 125 grams
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds | 30 grams
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice | 15 milliliters
- Optional: 1-2 teaspoons of maple syrup or other sweetener if desired for extra sweetness (adjust to taste as raspberries vary in sweetness)
directions:
1. In a medium bowl, gently mash the raspberries with a fork until they reach your desired consistency. You can leave some chunks for a more textured jam.
2. Stir in the chia seeds and lemon juice. If using, add the optional maple syrup or other sweetener.
3. Mix well to ensure the chia seeds are evenly distributed.
4. Cover the bowl and let it sit at room temperature for about 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the jam has thickened. The chia seeds will absorb the liquid and create a gel-like consistency.
5. Once thickened, transfer the raspberry chia jam to a jar or container. Store in the refrigerator for up to a week.
