Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Strawberries
- 1 cup Blueberries
- 2 medium, peeled and chopped Peaches
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
Instructions
Wash and hull the strawberries, then slice them into halves. Rinse the blueberries thoroughly. Peel the peaches, remove the pits, and chop the flesh into small cubes.
In a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat, combine the strawberries, blueberries, and chopped peaches. Stir gently and mash the fruits using a potato masher or a fork to help them release their juices.
Add the lemon juice to the saucepan. Continue to cook the fruit mixture over medium heat, stirring frequently, for about 20-25 minutes. The fruits will break down into a thick, jam-like consistency.
Taste the mixture and adjust with more lemon juice if needed, ensuring it is not too tart.
Once the fruit mixture has thickened, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the chia seeds thoroughly. The chia seeds will absorb the liquid and further thicken the jam as it cools.
Let the jam sit at room temperature for about 15-20 minutes to cool and thicken completely. Stir occasionally during this time to ensure even distribution of chia seeds.
Transfer the cooled jam into a clean, airtight jar or container. Store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
Serve the jam as a topping on compatible Whole30 dishes or enjoy by itself.
