Blueberry Chia Seed Jam
Great as a topping on anything from toast to pancakes, this jam is packed with blueberry flavor and the healthy benefits of chia seeds.
Ingredients
- 2 C. Organic Blueberries Fresh or frozen
- 2 Tbsp. Organic Coconut Sugar
- 1 Medium Lemon Juiced
- 2 1/2 Tbsp. Organic Chia Seed
Instructions
- Lightly mash the blueberries (if you’re using frozen ones, make sure to unthaw)
- Place the blueberries, coconut sugar and lemon in a medium-sized pan on the stove
- Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring often
- Reduce to a simmer for 15 minutes and continue to “mash” the blueberries with a fork or masher (you’ll want to mash them until they reach desired consistency, leaving some a little chunkier for even more texture in the jam)
- Let it cool
- Once cooled, bring to a simmer once again, add chia seeds and stir frequently for about 8-10 minutes
- Remove entire mixture from heat, and let it cool completely
- Transfer to a Mason jar (or other storage container), and store in the fridge

Just made my second batch of this and it is TERRIFIC!!! I used a frozen organic berry blend and the flavor is outstanding…just the right amount of sweetness. The texture and consistency of the jam is perfect, too. Thanks for posting this recipe; I’ll be using it a lot!
That’s wonderful, Nancy! It’s such a great jam to have on hand at all times. Thanks for stopping by!
I just got the recipe for the jam I was wondering if you would be able to do this in larger batches in canning the jam? Reason is in the summer I do canning for the blueberries,blackberries and the strawberries to jellies and jams.
Hi Tommie – Yes, you should be able to can the jam. Give it a try, and let us know how it goes. Have fun!
