Ingredients
- 2 large ripe papayas
- 0.5 cup unfiltered honey
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
Directions
Step 1
Peel the papayas, remove the seeds, and dice the flesh into small pieces.
Step 2
Place the diced papaya into a large saucepan over medium heat.
Step 3
Add the unfiltered honey and lemon juice to the saucepan and stir to combine.
Step 4
Cook the mixture, stirring occasionally, until the fruit softens and breaks down, about 15 minutes.
Step 5
Use a potato masher or a fork to mash the papaya thoroughly until you achieve your desired consistency.
Step 6
Stir in the vanilla extract and chia seeds, mixing well to distribute the seeds evenly throughout the mixture.
Step 7
Continue to cook on low heat for another 10 minutes, allowing the chia seeds to thicken the jam.
Step 8
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the jam cool slightly.
Step 9
Transfer the jam to sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4-inch space from the top, and seal with lids.
Step 10
Once completely cooled, store the jam in the refrigerator. It will keep well for up to 2 weeks.
