Who doesn’t love jam right?  This isn’t your usual jam recipe that is packed with sugar, but a healthy version.  Great for your toast or to use in your favourite slice recipe. This Berry Chia Seed Jam recipe is so easy that even the kids could help.

I got my inspiration for this recipe from Oh She Glows.

Ingredients

  • 1 bag of berries, defrosted
  • 2 tablespoons rice malt syrup
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds

Method

  1. Smash berries up a bit in a food processor, leaving it chunky.
  2. Put smashed berries, rice malt syrup and maple syrup in a saucepan and cook on low to medium heat.  Bring to the boil.  Reduce to low heat and simmer for 5 minutes until liquid is almost gone.
  3. Add chia seeds and stir until mixed in.
  4. Simmer for 10 minutes or until desired thickness is achieved.  Stir frequently so it doesn’t stick to bottom of saucepan.
  5. Pour into sterilised jar and turn upside down to seal.
