Steps:
- Clean fruit, removing stems/seeds as needed, and cutting into smaller pieces if large.
- Place a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the fruit and sweetener (if using - start with a little; you can always add more later). If you're not using sweetener and your fruit is relatively dry, try adding a small splash of water to get the fruit going.
- Heat fruit, stirring occasionally, until it comes to a boil. Let it continue to boil until it begins to break down and form a sauce, 5-15 minutes depending on your fruit. If nccessary, carefully mash fruit with a fork or potato masher until it reaches the consistency you'd like.
- Taste and add more sweetener if desired, a little at a time.
- Stir in the chia seeds and remove from heat. Let sit until thick, about 10 minutes. If it seems a little too thin, stir in another tablespoon of chia seeds and let it sit for another 10. minutes. (Keep in mind that he jam will continue to thicken as it cools.)
- To store, place in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to two weeks. Can also be frozen for up to two months.
