I love jam! Grape was my favourite growing up (still is). My best friends mom used to make the BEST grape jam from the grapes they had in their backyard. Switching it up a little bit and using blueberries and chia seeds to make this one. The chia seeds expand and make the jam gelatinous. You’re also getting a dose of fibre and healthy fats from the chia seeds.

Ingredients

2 cups frozen wild blueberries⁠
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup⁠
1 tablespoon lemon juice⁠
1 tablespoon chia seeds⁠

Instructions

In a small saucepan, on low heat, add the blueberries. They will start to break down and release their yummy juices. ⁠
Using the back of a fork or a potato masher, mash them down a bit to break them up even more. ⁠
Add in the maple syrup and lemon juice. Stir to combine.⁠
Let simmer for 5-6 minutes and then add in the chia seeds. Stir to combine.⁠
Let simmer for another 2-3 minutes. The jam will start to thicken up. ⁠
Remove from heat an let the jam cool.⁠
Use on toast, pancakes, muffins, crackers, etc.
Store in an air-tight glass container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
