Ingredients

3 cup blueberries fresh or frozen
3 tablespoon chia seeds
3 tablespoon maple syrup, pure

Instructions

In a medium sauce pan, combine the blueberries and chia seeds. Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat. Cover and cook until the blueberries start to break down and the jam thickens, about ten minutes. Stir occasionally.
Using a potato masher or large fork, crush the berries to your desired texture. If you like a very smooth jam, you can use an immersion blender to puree the berries.
Once the berries are mashed, stir in the maple syrup. You may serve the jam warm at this stage!
Allow jam to cool before transferring it to an air tight container. Store in fridge for up to two weeks.
