This blueberry fridge jam makes use of chia seeds to get it to set. Chia seeds, when blended will thicken recipes.

I’ve been moving into chia seeds. One cause for my infatuation is that I discovered them at Aldi for $3. They’re unimaginable nutritious – excessive in manganese, omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, protein, and so on.

Why not pair them with blueberries? Chia seeds don’t style like something to me in order that they make a superb addition to jam however you should use no-sugar pectin as properly see: low sugar blueberry jam recipe.

Blueberries are occurring proper now. My household went berry selecting and managed to select actually 1,000,000 blueberries (or some large quantity).

Here’s a blueberry department from my native blueberry farm:

I made blueberry skillet cake after which determined to make fridge blueberry jam. My freezer is now filled with the remainder of the blueberries as they freeze very well.

This recipe is ridiculously simple in a blender and then you definitely merely retailer for 90 minutes within the fridge and it turns magically right into a thick fruit unfold.

There isn’t any must can it (who needs to can in a sizzling kitchen) as a result of it can hold within the fridge for every week or so and you’ll get pleasure from it instantly. I discovered it to be a revelation that it isn’t essential to seal jam for secure retaining.

I believe individuals don’t make their very own jam as a result of they assume it takes a ton of labor over a sizzling range – it merely isn’t true! You’ll be able to taste it the best way you need to (possibly add a bit of lemon juice or thyme) and you’ll management the quantity of sugar.

Put this blueberry fridge jaim in your yogurt, in your toast, or simply eat it as a deal with! Yum!
