Blackberry & Raspberry Chia Jam Recipe By The Baking Nutritionist

My version of a chia jam recipe is always quite thick because that’s how I like my jam. If you’d prefer a runnier jam, use less chia seeds. The brand of chia seeds that I use are Chia Bia – an Irish brand based in Waterford. At the beginning of the summer, I picked fresh raspberries from our neighbour’s garden and decided to make raspberry chia jam – now a new staple condiment in my fridge. A few months on and summer has become autumn. Blackberries are now in season and I am flat-to-the-mat making blackberry chia jam.

Ingredients:
250g blackberries, fresh or frozen
2 tbsp raspberry jam
1 tbsp honey
1/2 tsp vanilla essence
45g chia seeds

Method:
1. Place the blackberries in a saucepan with the raspberry jam and simmer for 5 minutes, breaking up the berries with the back of a wooden spoon.
2. Add in the honey, vanilla and chia seeds and simmer for another 5 minutes.
3. Remove from the heat and transfer to a sterilised jar to cool and thicken. Store in the fridge for 2 weeks or freeze until required.
