Ingredients
- 3 cups Mixed berries (e.g., strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
Directions
Step 1
Rinse and dry the mixed berries thoroughly. If using strawberries, hull and chop them into smaller pieces for even cooking.
Step 2
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the berries, honey, and lemon juice. Place the pan over medium heat.
Step 3
As the berries heat, use a masher or the back of a spoon to gently crush the berries to your desired consistency.
Step 4
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Let it cook for about 10 minutes until the berries have completely softened and the mixture has thickened slightly.
Step 5
Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the chia seeds until well combined.
Step 6
Allow the jam to cool for about 5 minutes, during which the chia seeds will continue to thicken the jam.
Step 7
Once cooled, transfer the jam to a clean jar or airtight container. Store it in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
Step 8
Enjoy your Paleo-friendly berry jam as a spread, topping, or filling of your choice!
