Best Blueberry Chia Seed Jam Recipes

EASY BLUEBERRY CHIA JAM

Steps:

• Add blueberries to a saucepan and cook on low for about 5-10 mins, stirring occasionally. Mash them with a fork while they are cooking to break them up.
• Take the blueberries off the heat and stir in maple syrup, lemon juice, and chia seeds.
• Let stand until cooled, then transfer to glass jar for storage.

BLUEBERRY-CHIA SEED JAM

Steps:

• Bring blueberries, lemon zest, lemon juice, and maple syrup to a simmer in a medium saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, just until blueberries begin to burst, about 5 minutes. Use a spoon to lightly mash about half of the berries to release their juices. Increase heat to medium-high and bring to a boil. Cook, stirring occasionally, until juices are reduced by half, 5-10 minutes.
• Remove jam from heat; taste and add a bit more maple syrup if you prefer it to be sweeter. Return to a boil, then stir in chia seeds; cook 1 minute to soften seeds. Let jam cool slightly, then transfer to heatproof jars or containers. Cover and let cool completely. Chill until ready to use.
• Jam can be made 2 weeks ahead. Cover and chill, or freeze up to 2 months.

CHIA SEED JAM

Steps:

• Soak chia seeds in water until mixture has a jelly-like texture, about 5 minutes.

• Stir chia seed mixture into berry mixture. Remove from heat and let cool for at least 10 minutes.
