Description
A quick and nutritious Frozen Berry Chia Jam made from frozen mixed berries cooked on the stovetop and thickened with chia seeds, sweetened lightly with honey or maple syrup. Perfect for a healthy spread or topping, ready in just 15 minutes.
Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 cups frozen mixed berries (blueberries, blackberries, raspberries)
- 3 Tbsp chia seeds
- ½ Tbsp honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
Instructions
- Heat the Berries: Add the frozen mixed berries to a small pot and place it on the stove over medium heat. Keep the pot uncovered and stay nearby for stirring.
- Cook Until Soft: Stir occasionally as the berries defrost and soften, releasing their juices. Continue cooking until the mixture looks soupy and the berries have broken down.
- Add Chia and Sweetener: Remove the pot from heat and stir in the chia seeds and honey or maple syrup. Mix thoroughly to combine.
- Cool and Thicken: Let the jam cool in the pot for about 10 minutes, allowing the chia seeds to absorb liquid and thicken the jam. Serve immediately or store for later use.
Notes
- You can adjust the sweetness by adding more or less honey or maple syrup to taste.
- Use any mix of frozen berries you prefer or have on hand.
- The chia seeds naturally thicken the jam without needing additional pectin.
- Store jam in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
