Equipment

1 Glass Jar with Lid

Ingredients

2 cups frozen blueberries
2 tbsp raw cane sugar
Squeeze of fresh lemon
Pinch of salt
Pinch of cardamom
1 tbsp + 1 tsp chia seeds

Instructions

Add the frozen blueberries to a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the berries soften and release their juices.
Use the back of a spoon to gently mash the blueberries. Stir in the raw cane sugar, lemon juice, salt, and cardamom. Simmer for 2 more minutes.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the chia seeds until evenly combined.
Transfer the jam to a glass jar and let it cool slightly before refrigerating. The jam will thicken as it sits in the fridge.
Notes
This jam thickens as it chills. It may look loose right after cooking, which is normal.
Do not add the chia seeds while the jam is boiling. Stirring them in off heat prevents clumping and ensures even thickening.
Avoid adding extra chia seeds immediately. Let the jam fully chill before adjusting the texture.

Notes

Store in an airtight glass jar in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
