Click here to printRaspberry Chia Jam (your way!)
Old fashioned homemade jam. There's nothing quite like it. It kind of reminds me of my childhood where my mum and I would pick the fruits from the trees in our backyard and stew our very own jam (Plenty of greenery and space in the outback of Melbourne).
This one is like the traditional raspberry jam you'd dollop on your piping-hot scones with lashing of cream (now switched up for whipped coconut cream ;) ), but made with chia (for your daily intake of omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, and fiber!)
Have it on toast, your favourite plant-based ice-cream...OR for a wave of nostalgia, on those hot scones, straight out of the oven!
ingredients

- 2 cups frozen or fresh raspberries
- 3 tbsp. Loving Earth chia seeds

method
- Step 1 :Place the frozen raspberries, chia, vanilla, water and coconut nectar or maple syrup into a small saucepan. Bring it to a boil, stirring frequently, for a few minutes until the raspberries have broken down and the mixture resembles compote.
