Wild Blueberry Chia Jam

This fresh blueberry chia jam is quite possibly the healthiest jam ever.

Ingredients :

  • 3 cups frozen wild blueberries
  • ¼ cup (approx.) maple syrup
  • 1 vanilla bean, split in half lengthwise, seeds scraped
  • Zest of half a lemon Juice from half a lemon
  • 1-inch knob ginger, grated
  • ¼ cup chia seeds

Method:

Split the vanilla bean in half lengthwise, scraping seeds from inside with back of a knife. Place scraped seeds and remaining pod in saucepot. Add blueberries, maple syrup, lemon zest and juice, and grated ginger to saucepot. Over medium-high heat, bring to simmer, stirring occasionally, until blueberries begin to burst, about 3 minutes. Lightly mash berries with fork or potato masher to release their juices. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until juices are reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Remove jam from heat and stir in chia seeds, and continue to cook for another minute. Let jam cool, transfer to a mason jar with lid and place in the fridge.
