Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Mixed berries (e.g., strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
Instructions
Rinse and dry the mixed berries thoroughly. If using strawberries, hull and chop them into smaller pieces for even cooking.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the berries, honey, and lemon juice. Place the pan over medium heat.
As the berries heat, use a masher or the back of a spoon to gently crush the berries to your desired consistency.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Let it cook for about 10 minutes until the berries have completely softened and the mixture has thickened slightly.
Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the chia seeds until well combined.
Allow the jam to cool for about 5 minutes, during which the chia seeds will continue to thicken the jam.
Once cooled, transfer the jam to a clean jar or airtight container. Store it in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
Enjoy your Paleo-friendly berry jam as a spread, topping, or filling of your choice!
