Description
Here I'm using strawberries (or blueberries) and chia seeds to make a delicious jam that really lets the flavor of the fruit shine. Most fruit jams contain significantly more sugar than actual fruit, but not this one
Pictured here is a rice cake topped with Homemade Natural Nut Butter (using a blend of peanuts and pistachios) and the strawberry jam for a delicious snack. Strawberries and blueberries are lower in pectin compared to other berries, so chia seeds are used as a thickener. You can also check out my Low Sugar Berry Jam for a blackberry (or raspberry) version, which has no chia seeds since these berries contain more pectin
