Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to whip up this scrumptious jam:

4 cups fresh blueberries
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup chia seeds (these will help thicken your jam)
Optional: A pinch of cinnamon for some extra flavor

Instructions

Now, let’s get to making this jam. Follow along:

First, rinse your blueberries thoroughly under cold water. Remove any stems or blemished berries.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the blueberries, lemon juice, water, and vanilla extract. Place over medium heat.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally to help break down the blueberries. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
Once the berries are soft and juicy, take the saucepan off the heat and stir in the chia seeds. Remember, those little seeds are magic – they’ll thicken the jam as it cools!
If you want to add a touch of spice, sprinkle in some cinnamon and mix it well.
Let the jam cool to room temperature, then transfer it to a clean jar. Seal it tight and store it in the fridge.
This jam can also be stored at room temperature if processed correctly in a water bath canner – just make sure to follow proper canning procedures!

And there you have it! A deliciously simple, no-sugar-added blueberry jam that you can enjoy any time of the day. It’s perfect for keeping that sweet flavor in your life without compromising on health. So, get your kitchen prepped and enjoy this tasty treat!
