Ingredients
- 4 cups Fresh raspberries
- 0.5 cup Honey
- 3 tablespoons Chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the fresh raspberries under cold water and drain them well.
Step 2
In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine the raspberries and honey.
Step 3
Cook while stirring frequently, until the raspberries begin to break down and the mixture starts to bubble, about 5-7 minutes.
Step 4
Reduce the heat to low and simmer the mixture for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 5
Mash the raspberries with the back of a spoon or a potato masher to achieve your desired consistency.
Step 6
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the chia seeds.
Step 7
Add the fresh lemon juice and mix well.
Step 8
Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to allow the chia seeds to expand and thicken the jam.
Step 9
Once thickened, transfer the jam to sterilized jars.
Step 10
Allow the jam to cool to room temperature before sealing the jars.
Step 11
Store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks or freeze for longer storage.
