Step 1
Rinse the blueberries under cool water and drain them well.

Place the blueberries, lemon juice, and water in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat.
Step 3
Split the vanilla bean lengthwise, scrape the seeds, and add them, along with the pod, to the saucepan.
Step 4
Cook the mixture, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes or until the blueberries start to break down and release their juices.
Step 5
Remove the vanilla pod from the saucepan.
Step 6
Stir in the chia seeds, making sure they are well incorporated.
Step 7
Reduce the heat to low and simmer the mixture for an additional 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until it thickens to your desired consistency.
