Red Currant  Chia Jam 

Life Around the Table

Making Red Currant Jam is so easy and a great way to enjoy the summer! This jam is lightly sweetened and full of fruity flavour from the red currants and blueberries and help together with chia seeds so it doesn't require any pectin. It's tart but not too tart! Sweet but not too sweet!

Simple Ingredients

– red currants  – blueberries – honey or maple syrup – lemon juice – pure vanilla extract  –chia seeds

Step 1:  Combine red currants and blueberries in a medium-sized saucepan. Cook until all the fruit is broken down.

Step 2: Strain the cooked fruit through a fine mesh strainer, pressing to extract all the liquid.

Step 3: Stir in honey, lemon juice, and vanilla. Add chia seeds and mix well. Chill the jam in the fridge for several hours to allow the chia seeds to absorb liquid and thicken the mixture.
