Ingredients

• 4 cups Mixed fresh fruit (e.g., strawberries, blueberries, peaches)
• 0.75 cups Honey
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 2 tablespoons Chia seeds (optional, for thickening)

Directions

Step 1

Wash and prepare the fruit by removing any stems, pits, or peels as needed. Cut the fruit into small pieces for even cooking.

Step 2

In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the prepared fruit, honey, lemon juice, and water.

Step 3

Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally.

Step 4

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Use a potato masher or the back of a spoon to mash the softened fruit to your desired consistency. For a smoother jam, blend briefly with an immersion blender.

Step 6

If you prefer a thicker jam, stir in the chia seeds and continue to simmer for an additional 5 minutes. The chia seeds will absorb liquid and naturally thicken the jam.

Step 7

Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the jam to cool slightly. Taste and adjust sweetness by adding more honey if necessary.

Step 8

Transfer the cooled jam into sterilized jars or containers and let it cool completely before sealing.

Step 9

Store the jam in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or freeze it for longer storage.
