- 2 cups blueberries fresh or frozen
- 2 tablespoon chia seeds
- 2 teaspoon maple syrup
Place the blueberries in a pot and cook on a low to medium heat until about half of the blueberries have dissolved into a thick liquid, and half are still intact. Add the maple syrup and stir well. It usually takes about ten minutes, depending on the heat of the hob.
Once half the blueberries have dissolved take off the heat and add in the chia seeds. Stir thoroughly until well combined.
Leave the mixture to cool, and the jam will thicken and slightly expand in volume.
- Keep the heat fairly low, particularly to begin with so the blueberries don't burn or stick to the bottom of the pot.
- Help the blueberries break down by pressing against the side of the pan if required.
- Stir well so the chia seeds evenly combine with the fruit.
- Allow to cool before use, as this is when the jam will thicken up.
