How to Make Raspberry Chia Jam
For complete instructions, please check out the recipe card at the bottom of this post.
Mash and heat the raspberries in a medium sauce pot for five minutes, until some of the liquid has evaporated. Remove from the heat and stir in the honey and chia seeds and let set and thicken for 10-15 minutes.
Tips and Variations
- No Refined Sugars – using honey, this jam is already free of refined sugars!
- Vegan – while already vegetarian, if you omit the honey and substitute maple syrup or agave instead, it’ll make the jam vegan-friendly.
- No Added Sugars – use a non-nutritive sweetener, like allulose or monk fruit, to make this chia jam with no added sugars.
- Adjust sweetness – taste and adjust to your preference. If your raspberries are out of season and more on the tart side, you may need a touch more honey.
- Adjust consistency – if your chia jam is too thin for your liking, add another 1/2 – 1 tablespoon chia seeds. (This may be more likely to occur if your chia seeds are older/ out of date.)
How to Store Chia Jam
- Refrigerator: Store chia jam in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
- Freezer: Chia jam can be frozen for up to 3 months! Be sure to store in a freezer-safe, airtight container. Let thaw in the fridge overnight and give a stir before using.
