Blueberry Jam

July 14, 2018 By Your Allergy Chefs

There’s something special about homemade blueberry jam made with love.

Most commercially prepared jams are loaded with sugar that hides the natural sweet tartness of the blueberries. Making this homemade jam is as easy as can be and has none of the refined sugars or preservatives that the store bought stuff contains.

Jam is traditionally crushed fruit with sugar and pectin. Instead of pectin, which requires lots of sugar to set, we’re using chia seeds to thicken our blueberry jam.

Chia seeds are magic. When soaked in liquid, they absorb about 12-times their weight and develop a gel-like coating. We love using them in all kinds of foods from overnight oats to sauces and baked goods.

Cha-cha-chia!

You don’t have to add loads of sugar to make a good jam. Come see…no pectin or canning required!
