Chia Jam
portions
Ingredients
- 2 cups Raspberries
- 2 tbsp Chia Seeds
Method
- Heat the berries in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir until the berries are heated through and begin to break down and bubble. Mash the fruit to desired consistency.
- Add the chia seeds and stir until combined.
- Taste the mixture, if you feel it is too tart then add a sweetener of choice (e.g. honey, maple syrup)
- Remove from heat and let cool, the jam will thicken as it cools. Stir again and transfer to a sealed container and refrigerate.
Notes
- Sweeteners (such as honey or maple syrup) can be added if the jam is too tart. It is not recommended to add a sweetener if making for a baby. Do not add honey if making for a baby.
- Try adding some vanilla, cinnamon, ginger, or cardamom for extra flavour
- If your child does not like the texture of the seeds you can puree the jam in a blender. There will still be some small flecks of seeds, but they will be much less obvious.-
