Ingredients
- 1 pint of blueberries, rinsed
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup (may add more or less, if desired)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
Instructions
Add the blueberries and lemon juice to a saucepan and cook (over medium heat) for 5 minutes.
Stir frequently while mashing the berries with the back of your cooking utensil.
Add the maple syrup and chia seeds.
Mix to combine and cook (stirring frequently) for an additional 3-5 minutes or until thickened. Taste and add more sweetness, if desired.
Transfer to a glass heat-proof bowl and set it aside to thicken and cool.
Notes
- I have found the jam tastes delicious when the blueberries taste sweet and are full of flavor. If your blueberries are tart, the recipe might require additional maple syrup. May taste the jam once it has cooked and cooled, then add more maple syrup if desired.
- Storage: Keep it in an airtight glass food container in the refrigerator for up to 5-7 days.
