Blueberry Chia Seed Jam

This Blueberry Chia Seed Jam is not only good on toast, but it's also great on cheesecake or ice cream. Super easy to make and ready in 30 min.

This Blueberry Chia Seed Jam reminds me of my Mixed Berry Chia Seed Jam. The main difference is that this jam uses Maple Syrup as it’s sweetener versus honey in the mixed berry jam. Both rely on the chia seeds as a thickening agent.

Blueberries are probably my favorite type of berry to eat. I just wish they weren’t so dang expensive! Good thing a little goes a long way. This recipe will yield a good 16 ounces of blueberry jam deliciousness!
