Blueberry Orange Chia Jam

Dominique for DealiciousCooking

Ingredients
  

  • 1 small pack of fresh blueberries 4.4oz
  • 3 tablespoons chia soaked in 1/2 cup of orange juice or water or fresh apple juice
  • 1-2 tablespoons maple syrup

Instructions
 

  • Start by soaking chia seeds in 1/2 a cup of orange juice or water or apple juice and one tablespoon of maple. Leave the chia seeds to soak until all the liquid soaks into the seeds and you have a gel (about 30 minutes)
  • Put the chia mixture, blueberries, and maple syrup in a blender and blend until smooth. Try it and add more syrup if needed.
  • The mixture will be similar to a smoothie. Refrigerated to allow it to firm up slightly. If you want the mixture thicker and more firm, stir in another tablespoon of chia seeds.

Notes

This jam is delicious on fruit bowls, toast, ice cream, or anything that will hold still. It can keep for one week in the refrigerator, but we usually finish it before that.
