- 1.5 tablespoon chia seeds or 2 tablespoon for a thicker jam
- 1 cup blackberries
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup
Add the fruit and maple syrup to a pan and heat on low for 5-6 minutes or until the fruit has broken down and released its juices. You may wish to help it along by pressing the fruit against the side of the pan with a spoon.
Remove from the heat and stir in the chia seeds. If it seems too thick then add a touch of water. Set aside to thicken for at least ten minutes. Then enjoy!
- Cook down the fruit so that it has at least half dissolved into a liquid.
- You can use all blackberries or a mix of blackberries and blueberries.
- If you like a very thick jam, then you can use 2 tablespoon of chia seeds.
