This 3- ingredient jam is the perfect recipe for back to school! Made with just berries, chia seeds, and optional pure maple syrup/honey, this lunch comes together within minutes (and even my 5 year old can put it together himself!). We love making homemade jam because it’s made with chia seeds which are a great source of fiber and minerals and contains way less sugar than store-bought.
In a medium sized bowl, use a fork or food masher to mash your berries.
Stir in the chia seeds, then taste. If sweetener if needed, then stir in 1-2 tbsp pure maple syrup or honey. Mix again.
Set aside to thicken for 10 minutes. Enjoy right away or transfer to a sealed container and store in the fridge. If freezing, store in the freezer in ice cube trays and then thaw in the fridge.
