Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 cups raspberries fresh or frozen
  • 2 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • ½ lemon juiced
  • 2 tablespoon water

Instructions

  • Add water and frozen raspberries to a small-medium sized pot and heat on medium-high heat.
  • Stir well and cook raspberries for about 4 minutes or until completely thawed and they have fallen apart. You can mash them with the back of a spoon as you stir.
  • Add in lemon juice and maple syrup and continue stirring for about 1 minute.
  • Remove jam from the heat and stir in chia seeds.
  • Add to a mason jar and refrigerate overnight or at least 12 hours allowing the jam to properly thicken!
  • Enjoy!

Notes

If you like your jam sweeter, feel free to adjust the amount of maple syrup. For less sweet, you can omit the maple syrup altogether or add a couple drops of stevia instead.
Use fresh or frozen raspberries.
Serve this jam on sourdough bread with almond butter. It’s the perfect salty, sweet, satisfying combination!
