• 2 tablespoons chia seeds
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

3. Remove from heat and let cool until it starts to thicken.
4. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Helpful hints

• You may substitute various other fruit for the raspberries, such as blueberries, strawberries, peaches or pineapple.
• Use as you would any jam on bread, crackers or in oatmeal.
• If you do prefer more sweetness, add 1 tablespoon honey, natural maple syrup or agave syrup. This is option and will add more sugar to the recipe.
• This jam can be refrigerated for up to 3 weeks or freeze for up to 3 months.
• Less potassium and phosphorus is absorbed in the body in plant based foods, like seeds and fruit.
