450gramsFresh or frozen blackberries (or berries of your choice)
1tablespoonlemon juice
1pinchsalt
2-3tbspsugar or sweetener of your choice (use more or less as needed)
1 1/2tbspchia seeds
Instructions
In a saucepean over medium heat add the blackberries and the lemon juice. Stir it together continuously as the berries start to release their liquids.
Once the berries have broken down, let it come to a simmer and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes stirring regularly as the liquid reduces. Frozen berries usually release more liquid then fresh and may take a little longer. Add a pinch of salt and sweetner of your choice and stir it through.
Once most of the excess liquid has been reduced, take the pan off the heat. Stir through chia seeds, mixing them in well. Leave the jam to cool in the saucepan.
Spoon it into clean jars and store in the fridge for up to a week or the freezer for up to three months. Alternativey the jam can be preserved in a hot water bath in which case it can store unopened for up to 6 months. Once opened, store in the fridge and use within a week. (See the above post for preserving via a hot water bath.)
