Ingredients
- 2 cups cherries
- 1.5 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup or more to taste
- 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
- In a large pot gently heat the cherries on a low heat for 5-6 minutes until they release their juices. I like to press them against the saucepan with the back of a spoon to help break them down a little more. Drizzle in the maple syrup, and stir well.
- Once the cherries have dissolved to about half liquid, take off the heat and stir in the chia seeds. Add a touch of water if it seems too thick. Stir really well and leave to thicken for 10-minutes until cooled.
Notes
- If you aren't able to tolerate cherries, then hopefully my blueberry chia jam will suit you!
- Add a touch of water to thin the jam if required.
- For a thicker jam, you can increase the chia seeds to 2 tbsp.
- Please note that nutritional information is offered as a courtesy. It is auto-generated and should be understood to be an estimate.
- cherries, which score 0, but have 'controversial' in the notes.
