Chia Berry Jam Recipe with Frozen Fruit
This Chia Berry Jam is made with frozen fruit and a little bit of maple syrup. While you can use one type of berry, this recipe is made with three: strawberries, blueberries and raspberries. Each fruit adds its own dimension of flavor to create a delicious homemade jam. It is an easy-to-make, tasty and nutritious recipe to substitute for a typical jam. While it is delicious on its own, it is the perfect addition to a slice of toast with nut butter or in a sweet breakfast bowl.
Ingredients
- 2 cups frozen strawberries
- 1 cup frozen blueberries
- 1 cup frozen raspberries
- 2-3 tbsps chia seeds
- 2 tbsp maple syrup or honey
- 1/2 lemon juice, optional
Instructions
- Put a saucepan over medium heat with the frozen berries in it
- Add 1/2 lemon squeeze (optional)

- After the fruit softens, lower the heat to a simmer. Consistently stir and mash the fruit to break it down
- Continue until the mixture becomes a jam-like texture.
