Ingredients

• 2 large ripe papayas
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 cup water
• 3 tablespoons chia seeds
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Peel the papayas, remove the seeds, and cut the flesh into small cubes.

Step 2

In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the papaya cubes, lemon juice, and water.

Step 3

Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally.

Step 4

Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 15 minutes or until the papaya becomes soft and tender, stirring occasionally.

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from heat and use an immersion blender to puree the papaya mixture until smooth. Alternatively, you can transfer the mixture to a regular blender, but exercise caution as it will be hot.

Step 6

Return the saucepan to low heat and stir in the chia seeds and vanilla extract.

Step 7

Cook for an additional 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens to a jam-like consistency.

Step 8

Remove the jam from heat and allow it to cool. Once cooled, transfer the papaya jam to a clean glass jar or container with a lid.

Step 9

Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow it to thicken further and enhance the flavors.

Step 10

Serve the papaya jam as a topping for Whole30-approved meals, or as a fruity addition to your breakfast.
