Equipment

  • saucepan

Ingredients

  • 1 cup raspberries
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup, optional
  • ½ tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

  • In a medium saucepan, add the raspberries over medium heat. Cook them for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to break down.
  • Once the raspberries have softened, use a fork or potato masher to mash them until you reach your desired consistency.
  • Remove from heat and add lemon juice, sweetener, and chia seeds.
  • Allow chia seed jam to sit for 10 minutes to thicken.

Notes

For a chunkier jam, mash less; for a smoother jam, mash more.
