Homemade jam is my JAM!! It is seriously SO easy, versatile, and healthy to make your own jam. In this recipe I made homemade blueberry chia jam, but you could switch out any berry or citrus combo you like.
Over the Spoon for:
- Full of fiber from chia seeds

- Low in sugar
What do you need:

What do you eat blueberry jam with?
This homemade blueberry chia jam is great on so many things! You can top it over toast like normal jam, stir it in yogurt, serve it hot over vanilla ice cream, add it to your oat meal... the options are truly endless!
How to make:
- Start by heating and mashing berries
- Stir in lemon juice, honey, and chia seeds.
- Simmer for 5 minutes and allow to cool
How to store:
This chia seed jam will continue to thicken due to chia seeds absorbing 10-12 times their weight!
Keep it in the fridge and if you want to make it a little thinner add a tablespoon of hot water and stir.
Serve within 5-6 days.
