This recipe for chia jam is so simple and so tasty. It will take you less than five minutes to whip up, and you'll be sneaking spoonfuls straight out of the jar.

1. Add fruit, sweetener and water to a pot. Stir over a low heat, until the mixture starts gently bubbling.

2. Take off the heat and gently mash mixture together with a potato masher (mash it less if you want a pulpy jam).

3. Add in chia seeds and stir well. Leave for a few minutes as the jam begins to "set" (or rather the chia seeds begin to swell up and form a thick mixture).

4. Place jam into a jam jar and store in fridge.

TIPS:
This recipe makes quite a small serving as this is a ‘fresh’ jam, not preserved with a high sugar content so you must eat it over the course of a week and store it in the fridge. Triple the recipe it if you'd like a full jam jar, as pictured.

Enjoy!
