This recipe couldn’t be easier and is REALLY yum. A good use of all of the cheap strawberries and blueberries we are so lucky to have in season at the moment.

1/3 cup organic maple syrup 
1 tsp vanilla extract

Frozen Berry Chia Jam Recipe (no added sugar)
This is great for BLW and toddlers due to the lower sugar content.

Frozen Berry Chia Jam

2 cups of mixed frozen berries
4 tablespoons of chia seeds
1/2 to 1 cup of water (start with 1/2 and add more as needed)
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

Add all the ingredients to a saucepan over a medium heat and stir frequently until all the fruit has defrosted and it has come together to a jammy consistency. Adding more water as it cooks to create desired thickness.

You can add maple or honey to each meal alongside the jam if you like it sweeter.

Store in the fridge for 5 days.
