Ingredients
- 3 cups blueberries
- 3 tbsp chia seeds
Instructions
- Add 3 cups of blueberries to a non-reactive pot. Turn the stove on to medium heat. As the pot heats up, mash the berries to help break them down.
- Once the blueberries have broken down, around 5 minutes, mix in 3 tbsp of chia seeds. (You can also add maple syrup or another sweetener of your choice, to taste, if you wish.)
- Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring frequently, then turn off the heat and let the jam cool for 5 minutes. Transfer to jars and refrigerate.

Notes
- Use a non-reactive pot like (enameled cast iron or stainless steel) to avoid the tinny taste from transferring into your jam. Other materials like copper, bare cast iron, and aluminum are considered “reactive” and the acidity in the blueberries will eat away at the lining of the pot, resulting a metallic flavour.
