Easy Blackberry Chia Seed Jam (Vegan, Gluten Free, Paleo)

This simple blackberry chia seed jam is ready in 15 minutes and tastes fantastic! A great use for fresh or frozen berries.

I make a LOT of bread on out homestead!  Typically its my easy 4 Ingredient No Knead Bread in the Dutch oven, a Saturday morning ritual for us.  Its great as toast, to dip in bread, or for an open face sandwich.  Last weekend I had a bunch of fresh blackberries, and decided to make a jam to have with our breakfast!

What’s In This Blackberry Chia Seed Jam?

• Blackberries, you can use fresh or frozen
• Chia Seeds
• Maple Syrup, honey, or your sweetener of choice)
• Vanilla Extract

This jam is versatile so you can use fresh or frozen berries. When there is a sale I like to stock up and put a few pints and freeze whatever we don’t eat fresh.  Frozen berries are great for smoothies and perfect in this jam.

This Blackberry Chia Seed Jam  Is:

• Sweet
• Smooth
• Bright
• Tart
• Healthy
• Vegan
• Gluten Free
• Paleo friendly
• Ready in 15 minutes!

This 4 Ingredient Blackberry Jam really couldn’t be easier to make.  If you don’t have blackberries on hand, you can use any kind of berry, or any kind of fruit to make it.  I bet it would be great with peach puree, too!

How Do I Make Blackberry Chia Seed Jam:

1. In a saucepan, heat the blueberries over low heat for 7 to 8 minutes, until they begin to break down.  Add the chia seeds and maple syrup and continue to stir until the berries dissolve, about another 5 minutes.
2. Remove from heat, and stir in the vanilla extract.  Allow jam to sit for a few minutes to thicken and enjoy!

This jam keeps really well in the fridge too!  When finished making, put any leftover jam in airtight containers.  It’ll keep for 2 weeks in the fridge.

What Do I Serve With Blackberry Chia Seed Jam:

• Its great on 4 Ingredient no Knead Dutch Oven Bread
• Don’t have a dutch oven?  This Olive Oil Skillet Bread is also delish!
• Over Nice Cream 🙂
• With a peanut butter sandwich on Clay Pot Bread
• On Biscuits
• With Oatmeal
