    Mixed Berry Chia Seed Jam

    PB&J. I'm sure that everyone has had Peanut Butter & Jam at one point or another in their life. Some of us still do. I'm sure everyone keeps a jar of their favorite peanut bar in their pantry at all times. But what about jam? I'm sure some of you do but not everyone is well prepared for when the mood strikes you. No worries, I got you covered with this Mixed Berry Chia Seed Jam.

    Mixed Berry Chia Seed Jam

    The thickening agent for this jam is chia seeds. The nice thing about chia seeds is that there is no gluten or GMOs to worry about. Additionally, you will benefit from the added nutrition without altering the flavor of the jam.

    💭 Benefits of Chia Seeds

    -Good Source of Protein
    -High in Nutrients
    -Good for Digestion
    -Increases Energy and Endurance
    -Naturally Filling

    Enjoy making Jam? You should also check out this other Pectin Free Mixed Berry Jam that also uses Chia Seeds as the thickening agent. I just love these jam recipes because they are so easy to make and you can easily substitute the fruits you use.

    💭 How to seal Mason Jars

    Using a ladle, fill sterilized mason jars leaving about ½ inch of headspace.
    Remove any air bubbles by inserting a flexible spatula down the sides of the jars. Adjust headspace if necessary.
    Wipe jar rims, place lids on jar and screw on bands finger tight.
    Place jars in a large pot of boiling water for 20 minutes. Move jars to a cooling rack and let cool until the lids "pop". Do not tighten bands. Let jars cool for at least 4 hours. Test seal by pressing the center of the lid. It should not give. If it makes a popping sound, it has NOT been sealed.

      I have made this chia jam many times and it always comes out perfect. I love it on toast or even ice cream. Very tasty.
