10-minute blueberry jam

VEGAN – GLUTEN FREE – OIL FREE – RAW

The simplest of recipes, this raw jam thickens up thanks to ground chia seeds that disappear completely into the jam. This tastes wonderful on toast, yoghurt, chia pudding or a breakfast muffin. We like it without sweetener but you can add a touch of maple syrup if you wish.

PREP: 10 MINUTES – COOKING: NONE – PORTIONS 1½ CUPS (ABOUT 12 SERVINGS)

1. Mash blueberries with fork in a medium sized bowl until most of the liquid is released but there are still pieces of blueberries.
