Chia Seeds are a super food seed full of Omega 3 fats and fibre. These little seeds help towards boosting your energy, stabilising your blood sugar, aiding digestion and, lowering cholesterol. Adding them into Jam gives it an extra crunch as well as being packed with fantastic health benefits.
This recipe is so easy and you don't have to worry about preserving for years and years and years...
Half of Kilogram or A Pound of Plums (or Damsons, Figs, Apricots. Your choice)
Half a Lemon's Juice
1/3 Cup of Honey
1/2 Cup of Chia-Seeds
Teaspoon of Coconut Sugar
Halve and de-stone the fruit and put into the food processor with the squeezed lemon juice. Using the 'S' tool - blend the fruit until the mixture starts to resemble baby food.
Put the fruit mixture into a non stick pan and add the honey, sugar and chia-seeds. Bring to the boil, when you start to see bubbles in the mixture you know the sugar is starting to boil. This is how you get the jam like texture once it has cooled. Let the jam simmer for a further 20-30 minutes. Stirring occasionally to make sure it is all mixed together and not sticking to the bottom.
Boil some hot water to pour into your jam jar. This will sterilise the jar so that no bacteria gets in creating less chance of your jam getting mouldy.
Pour the jam mixture into the jars and leave to stand at room temperature for a further 30 minutes.
Put the Jam-Jar lid on and pop it into the fridge.
Your jam is then ready to add on top of gluten-free bread, add to oats or granola or, just spoon into your mouth!
Its delicious and not full of loads of sugar like shop bought jam - meaning less guilt and better for your body!
