Chia Jam

[Cooper27]

I found a recipe for a quick chia seed jam: take 2 cups of blueberries, stew for a few mins, mash and then add 2 tbsp of chia seeds. It's delicious and so easy!

Has anyone else made chia Jam before? What other flavours are good?

This looks really good! Have you tried Apple Butter Jam, Cooper27 ?

[Cooper27 Administrator in reply to Activity2004]

No, I've heard of it but have no idea what's in it!

This is great Cooper, thank you for sharing. I loved strawberry Jam when I was a child, but haven't had any for years because of the sugar content. This is a great alternative

[Cooper27 Administrator in reply to Kitten-whiskers]

Yes, it's really low sugar but still sweet enough for me. You can add small amounts of sweetener if you like though

I might try with some frozen strawberries, but I think I'll half the ingredients in case it doesn't work as well.

That's a good idea, such a great alternative that doesn't cost a fortune either

It looks nice I hope you enjoyed it.

That sounds really good. How much is two cups in grams or pounds? Sorry, UK cook.

[Cooper27 Administrator in reply to maria40]

Sorry I don't know how many grams. 2 cups would be about 1 mug full, or if you have a measuring jug, a cup is 250ml.

I'm also in the UK and you can buy measuring cups here quite easily when you're next able to get to the supermarket

I add chia seeds to apple sauce and use it on crumpets
