Snack: Chia Seed Jam

 

 This is something that I have wanted to try for a while, and with my new healthy eating regime, I wanted to incorporate something sweet and tasty into my life, so finally thought I would give it a go.  I loved the results and wanted to share with you.  I made a raspberry batch, but it looks to me as though you could use pretty much any fruit, well any berries at least.   Ingredients 450g of fruit (I used frozen raspberries) 4 tablespoons of Agave or desired sweetner 2 tablespoons of chia seeds   Preparation Pop your fruit in a small pan and heat until hot. Using a masher squish all the lumps out of the fruit.    
Add your sweetener, stir and taste, add more if desired.  Boil for about 5 minutes until your fruity mush becomes less liquidy, you will notice it getting thicker. It is time to add your Chia seeds, continue to heat for another minute. Leave in the pan off the heat for another 10 minutes.  It is now ready to use, or pop in an air-tight container and store in the fridge.  To Serve  Treat as though it is your regular jam: On bread or crackers,  A spoonful in your porridge Combine with almond butter for a "healthy peanut butter & jelly sandwich"     Much love,
