Ingredients
 
 

  • 2 cups Raspberries
  • 2 tbsp Water
  • 2 tbsp Pure Maple Syrup or Honey - use Maple to keep the jam vegan
  • 2 tbsp Chia Seeds

Instructions
 

  • Add the raspberries to a small saucepan with a splash of water and the maple syrup or honey.
  • Cook on a medium heat, stirring, until the fruit starts to break down a bit. Mash it with the back of a spoon if you like a smoother jam - or leave it chunkier with larger pieces of fruit if you prefer.
  • Take the fruit off the stove and stir in the chia seeds.
  • Transfer to a bowl or jar and let the jam cool and thicken for about 10 minutes.
  • Stir it again and serve!
  • If you are making the jam for later cover and keep in the fridge for up to 1 week.
