- 1 tablespoon juice from an orange or sub lemon
- 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup or sweetener of choice
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
Instructions
- Add the frozen blueberries to a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally and mashing to your desired consistency, until the berries have released their juices and are simmering, about 5 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in the orange juice, maple syrup, and chia seeds.
- Let sit for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chica seeds absorb the liquid and the mixture thickens. If needed, you can add more sweetener to taste.
- Transfer to a covered container and refrigerate, The jam will continue to thicken as it chills. Feel free to add a little more orange juice or water to thin out consistency, if needed.
