Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups Fresh Raspberries or Frozen Raspberries (thawed)
- 1/4 cup Whole Chia Seeds
- 1/4 cup Maple Syrup or Honey or Agave Nectar or Granulated Sugar
- 2 tablespoons Freshly Squeezed Lemon Juice
- 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract (optional)
- Pinch of fine sea salt (optional)
Instructions
- If using fresh raspberries, rinse them under cool water and pat them dry. If using frozen raspberries, ensure they are completely thawed.
- Transfer the raspberries to a medium-sized mixing bowl and gently mash them using a fork, potato masher, or the back of a spoon.
- To the mashed raspberries, add the chia seeds, sweetener, lemon juice, vanilla extract (if using), and a pinch of salt.
- Stir everything together well to ensure the chia seeds are evenly distributed.
- Let the mixture sit at room temperature for about 5-10 minutes to allow the chia seeds to absorb liquid and swell.
- After the initial rest, stir the jam again to prevent the chia seeds from clumping.
- Transfer the mixture into a clean airtight container or glass jar and refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours to set.
