Strawberry & Blueberry Chia Jam
Serves: 5
Prep: 5
Cook: 10
Ingredients
Method
- Hull the strawberries then cut them into quarters and place in a strainer. Wash them well and transfer to a medium saucepan. Wash the blueberries separately and set them aside.
- Place the saucepan onto the stove and cook the strawberries on medium high for 5 minutes to soften then. Use a potato masher to help them break down. Add the blueberries and continue cooking for another 5 minutes, stirring often without mashing, until both fruits have softened but the blueberries maintain their shape.
- Remove the softened berries from the stove and mix in the maple syrup, vanilla bean extract and chia seeds. Allow to sit for 5 minutes to slightly cool and thicken, stirring occasionally.
- Transfer the jam into mason jars. Makes approximately 2 cups.
Tips
- Jam stores in the fridge for at least one week. It can also be frozen.
- You can create many variations of this recipe, using other berries and flavouring ingredients.
