Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 3 cups blueberries These small, succulent berries are bursting with flavor and packed with antioxidants.
  • 3 tbsp chia seeds These tiny, crunchy seeds are a powerhouse of nutrition.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by adding 3 cups of fresh blueberries to a non-reactive pot. Mash the blueberries with a fork or a potato masher.
Cooking
  1. Turn the stove on to medium heat and continue mashing the berries. After about 5 minutes, the blueberries will have softened significantly and started to bubble.
  2. Once the blueberries are sufficiently broken down, mix in 3 tablespoons of chia seeds. Optionally, add maple syrup to taste.
  3. Cook the mixture for an additional 5 minutes while stirring frequently.
Cooling and Storing
  1. Once the jam has thickened, turn off the heat and let it cool in the pot for 5 minutes.
  2. Transfer the jam into clean jars and allow it to cool completely before refrigerating.

Notes

Keep an eye on the jam as it cooks to avoid overcooking. Taste and adjust sweetness as needed. Consider adding lemon juice or vanilla extract for extra flavor.
