This jam is not your average type of jam. It's high in fibres, and low in sugar. Perfect for those who are watching their calories intake. Since this jam has no preservative, it will only last up to two weeks in the fridge, store in an air tight container.

Steps

15 mins

1

Put fruits on a sauce pan, and heat up stove on medium heat.
2

Mashed the fruits to your ideal consistency (more or less chunks on your jam), add it the sweetener or your choice (I am using honey)
3

Simmer for 5 minutes, until it looks saucy and stir frequently.
4

Add in the chia seeds and stir for 1 minute until all ingredients are well combined.
5

Removed from the heat and let it sit for 10 mins. You can add a bit more chia seed if you want thicker consistency.
6

Moved the chia jam to an air tight container or a jar and store in the fridge, use within 2 weeks. The chia seeds will still do it's magic in the fridge. Leave it for few more hours to chill before consuming, so the chia seeds will thicken the jam.
7

You can use other fruits like mango, stones fruits and other type of berries.
