This jam can be made in 10 minutes with only 3 ingredients. It's thickened using chia seeds, which offer healthy fats, fibre, and minerals. Berries are packed with antioxidants that may boost our immune system and help prevent aging.
This jam is a delicious way to increase your antioxidant intake. Spread it on toast or add a spoonful to yogurt, porridge, waffles, or pancakes. My kids like it much better than store-bought jam!
