FRESH DIPS AND SIDE DISHES

Black Raspberry Chia Jam

 Traditional jam is full of sugar and so I like to have a fresh homemade alternative.  This recipe uses chia seeds and water mixed with fresh local fruit.  Black raspberries look like blackberries but they taste just like regular raspberries. I used chia seeds because they absorb whatever liquid is there and creates a thickened jam. 

Tip: If you like jam a little sweeter, then add some granulated sugar or honey for flavor.  The longer you let the fruit cook down the sweeter the jam will be. 

Healthy tip: Dark berries contain resveratrol which is excellent for cardiovascular and vessel health.  

Ingredients: 
  • 1/2 cup berries like raspberries
  • 3 Tbsp chia seeds
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 tsp balsamic vinegar 
  • dash of sea salt 

Recipe: 
  1. In a small pot boil all the ingredients together.  Then reduce to a simmer, and stir until it becomes thickened. 
  2. Pour into a small dish or jar.  As it cools, the mixture will thicken more. 
  3. Optional, add extra drizzle of honey for sweetness.  


  Stores in the fridge sealed in a jar for at least 1 month. I like to serve this on top of homemade Panna Cotta dessert, or with a scoop of peanut butter as a snack.
