One of the things I found myself really missing when I gave up sugar was jam. I know it sounds pretty random, but no longer being able to spread jam on my toast for breakfast was really sad (ugh, first world problems.) This recipe has made my breakfast (and dessert) experience SO much better. The best part? It’s totally customizable. You can use any mixture of berries you have laying around. You can put this on toast, in pies, on cookies, etc. etc. The possibilites are ENDLESS.
1 1/2 cups of any type of berry (I used strawberry, blackberry, and raspberry here)
2 tablespoons of lemon juice (or orange juice!)
3 tablespoons of honey
1 tablespoon of chia seeds
Chop your berries into small pieces. Add the berries, lemon juice, honey, and chia to a saucepan and simmer until the mixture reaches your desired consistency (mine took about 25 minutes.) You can also add spices, vanilla, or any other flavorings you like. Happy jamming!
