Since our blueberry picking venture last week, we’ve been making all sorts of “berry” yummy things! With a few cups left, I knew we wanted to make a batch (or as many as I could!!) of our blueberry jam.
Blueberries are a superfood that my kids and I just can’t get enough of, and I’m already planning another “picking date” while they’re still in season so I can stock up. For our homemade jam, we took a healthier twist and said goodbye to the processed sugar! It’s also loaded with nutrient dense chia seeds. Don’t worry though, it’s still smooth and delicious, as this super healthy seed is used as the thickener!

Easy, delicious and healthy jam in under 30 minutes! This is one of my absolute favorite jams… especially on toasted baguette with goat cheese, while my daughter loves to dish a couple of spoons into a cup of yogurt with some of our homemade vanilla granola. Yum!
What’s your favorite jam? Do tell!

We made it and I love it Tabitha! I didn’t have fresh blueberries but it was just as delicious with frozen ones. I’ve been enjoying it on toast and mixed with Greek yogurt… yummy! We’ll be making another batch tomorrow.
Just so you know, I’ll be sharing it in this week’s newsletter.
