Some years ago now, when I came across this jam recipe from thankfulexpressions.blogspot.com, I just had to try it, especially as I happened to have all the ingredients on hand and I LOVE using chia seeds.  They are so easy to cook with and have so many nutrients, they really should be in everyone's kitchen pantry!

Well, this jam is the easiest and quickest jam I've ever made and it is also healthy and delicious.  I loved it so much, that I have been making it with different varieties of fruit ever since.   The only thing I changed in the original recipe was that I swapped out the suggested honey and replaced it with coconut sugar to keep it vegan!

Strawberry Rhubarb Chia Jam
 

Ingredients

• 1-1/3 cup strawberries
• 2/3 cup rhubarb - cut into small pieces
• 1-2 tbsp coconut sugar, or maple syrup (or to taste)
• 2 tbsp chia seeds

Method

1. Process all the ingredients in a blender (I used my food processor for this).
2. Refrigerate overnight, or at least a couple of hours.  The chia seeds will gel, thickening the fruit puree.
3. Add additional diced fruit if you like it chunky.

Enjoy!
