Chia seeds cherry jam
—
Traditionally, the jam’s recipe uses fresh fruits and sugar. In this recipe (which does not require cooking!), we are using the natural fruit sugar and the chia seeds that provide a thick texture, very similar to the classic jam! This jam contains about 3 times less sugar than processed jam!
It can be used for pie crusts, on toasts, or to garnish pancakes and muffins!
