Instructions
Place the blueberries and juice into a saucepan.
Warm over medium and cook for about 10 minutes, or until the berries start to release their juices.
Remove from heat and stir in the chia seeds and maple syrup, if using. Cover and let cool.
Stir and mash the berries with the back of a spoon. The chia seeds will have plumped up to thicken the jam. Taste and add more sweetener If desired.
Store in airtight containers until ready to use.
Notes
Store in airtight containers in the fridge for about 5-7 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Sweeten to taste with maple syrup or honey.
Use jam on toast, pancakes, or waffles.
Stir into oatmeal or yogurt.
Use equal parts jam and yogurt to stir together a quick and healthy chia seed pudding.
Try a different fruit like raspberries, strawberries or blackberries.
You can also stir, once cooled, with plain whole milk yogurt as a snack.
