Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh raspberries
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
Directions
Step 1
Begin by thoroughly washing the raspberries under cold running water. Drain them well and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Step 2
Place the raspberries in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat. Stir occasionally until the berries start to break down and release their juices, approximately 5 minutes.
Step 3
Using a wooden spoon or a potato masher, gently mash the raspberries to your desired consistency. Some like it chunky, while others prefer a smoother texture.
Step 4
Add the honey and lemon juice to the saucepan, stirring well to combine. Allow the mixture to come to a gentle simmer, cooking for an additional 5 minutes.
Step 5
Stir in the chia seeds. They will thicken the mixture as it cools, giving the jam a lovely texture.
Step 6
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the jam cool to room temperature, allowing the chia seeds to swell and thicken the mixture further.
Step 7
Transfer the jam to a clean jar with a tight-fitting lid. Once completely cooled, store it in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
Step 8
Enjoy your homemade Paleo raspberry jam spread over your favorite Paleo bread or as a topping for yogurt or desserts.
