Mornings are hectic, but a delicious breakfast doesn’t have to be! This recipe for Sugar-Free Wild Fruit Jam is your new best friend. Made with fresh or frozen wild berries and naturally thickened with chia seeds, it’s ready in minutes and bursts with flavor. Spread it on toast, yogurt, or pancakes for a healthy and satisfying start to your day.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups fresh or frozen wild berries (blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, etc.)
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
Instructions:
- Prep the Berries: In a saucepan, combine the wild berries, water, and lemon juice. If using frozen berries, there’s no need to thaw them first.
- Bring to a Simmer: Over medium heat, bring the mixture to a simmer. The berries will start to soften and release their juices.
- Thicken the Jam: Once simmering, reduce heat to low and add the chia seeds. Stir constantly for about 5 minutes. The chia seeds will absorb the liquid and thicken the jam.
- Mash or Blend (Optional): For a smoother consistency, use a potato masher or an immersion blender to break down some of the berries. You can leave it chunky for a more rustic texture, it’s up to you!
- Cool and Serve: Remove the jam from heat and let it cool slightly. The jam will thicken further as it cools.
- Spread and Enjoy: Spread your delicious sugar-free wild fruit jam on toast, yogurt, pancakes, or enjoy it by the spoonful!
Tips:
- Experiment with Berries: Feel free to use any variety of wild berries you like, or a combination of them.
- Sweetener Options (Optional): If you prefer a slightly sweeter jam, you can add a few drops of stevia or a tablespoon of sugar-free maple syrup after removing the jam from heat.
- Storage: Store your homemade jam in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Enjoy your quick and healthy breakfast made even better with this delicious Sugar-Free Wild Fruit Jam!
