Simple Blueberry Chia Jam using the fresh blueberries in season! This jam is made in the Instant Pot and sweetened with maple syrup making it refined sugar free.Fruits are in abundance during this time of the year. We went to our farmers market last week and got lots of fresh fruits.
The farmers market felt so different this year with all the safety rules but the produce was still amazing, like it usually is.We got lots of blueberries from a local farm and I used some to make this super simple Blueberry Chia Jam.
Ingedients
18 oz blueberries around 3 heaping cups
1 tablespoon lemon juice 15 ml
1 tablespoon water 15 ml
3-4 tablespoons maple syrup 45-60 ml, to taste
3 tablespoons chia seeds
Method
* To the instant pot, add blueberries, lemon juice, water and maple syrup. Stir everything together.
* Close the lid and press the manual or pressure cook button. Cook on high pressure for 3 minutes with the pressure valve in the sealing position.
* Let the pressure release naturally.
* Open the pot and mash the blueberries slightly with a masher.
* Stir in the chia seeds.
* Mix with a whisk. Unplug the instant pot and cover it with a glass lid.
* Jam will thicken as it cools down. Enjoy with toast, on pancakes and store the jam in the refrigerator.
