Very Berry Chia Jam

Here is a fun recipe I love to make with my girls and in my classes.  Kid's love being able to make their own jam.  This recipe is great for an easy {no-cook} version of jam.  A healthy and tasty way to use fresh berries.

Very Berry Chia Jam

Ingredients:

3 cups Fresh Berries

1 tbsp Chia Seeds

1/4 cup pure Maple Syrup or Honey

1 tsp Nutmeg

Wash (and hull if using strawberries) the fruit.  Blend all of your ingredients together in a food processor or blender on variable speed being sure not to over blend.  For a fun kid way to make the jam instead add all of the ingredients to a ziplock bag.  Seal and let kids knead it with their hands or roll it with a rolling pin for about five minutes until well smashed and combined.  Store in an airtight jar or container for up to a week in the fridge or 3 months in the freezer.  Perfect on pancakes!
