Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh raspberries
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Begin by washing the raspberries thoroughly and inspecting them for any leaves or stems.
Place the raspberries in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat. Stir occasionally and let them break down, which should take about 5 minutes.
Once the raspberries have softened and are bubbling, use a fork or potato masher to gently mash the fruit into your desired consistency.
Stir in the chia seeds, fresh lemon juice, and vanilla extract, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Continue to cook the mixture on low heat for another 5 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
The chia seeds will begin to expand and thicken the jam as it cooks.
Remove the pan from the heat and allow the jam to cool completely. The jam will continue to thicken as it cools.
Once cooled, transfer the jam into a clean, airtight jar or container.
Store the raspberry jam in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Enjoy your Whole30 Homemade Raspberry Jam on all your favorite Whole30-approved foods.
