Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Mixed fresh fruits (such as strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and peaches)
- 3 tablespoons Chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons Freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons Raw honey (adjust to taste)
Instructions
Wash and prepare the fresh fruits. Remove any stems, pits, or cores, and chop larger fruits into smaller pieces for even cooking.
In a medium saucepan, combine the prepared mixed fruits and place over medium heat.
As the fruits begin to heat, use a potato masher or spoon to crush them, releasing their juices. Continue to heat and mash until the mixture is bubbly and the fruits are well broken down, about 10 minutes.
Stir in the chia seeds, lemon juice, and raw honey, adjusting the sweetness to your liking.
Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer, stirring frequently, until it thickens to your desired consistency, approximately 10 more minutes.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the jam cool. As it cools, it will continue to thicken.
Once cooled, transfer the jam into sterilized jars or containers. Seal tightly and store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
Enjoy your Paleo Classic Mixed Fruit Jam on toast, pancakes, or as a topping for yogurt!
