BERRY LAVENDER CHIA JAM

Quick and easy, low sugar, high fiber jam! Add dried lavender for a unique twist, or stick to a classic berry flavor. I love to slather it on toast, pancakes, and yogurt.

Ingredients:

2 tbsp chia seeds

¼ cup water

½ lemon, juiced (about 2 tbsp)

2 tsp lavender, chopped (optional)

1.5 cups berries (fresh or frozen)

2 tbsp maple syrup or honey to taste

Steps:

Let chia seeds and water soak for 5-10 minutes.

Meanwhile, add everything else to a medium sized pot (lemon juice, lavender if using, berries, and maple syrup). Stir over medium-low heat until berries release most of their juice. Mash them with a fork or spatula to crush large chunks of fruit. Remove from heat and add in soaked chia seeds. Store in fridge and enjoy within 2-3 days.
