With a fork or potato masher, crush the fruit to your desired consistency.
Stir in the chia seeds and honey until well combined.
Remove from heat and let it cool.
Serve and enjoy or store in a tightly sealed jar or container.
Storage Tips
Refrigerate in a tightly sealed jar or container up to 1 week.
Chef's Tips
Serve this jam on toast, bagels, pancakes, or to make PB&J sandwiches or one of our recipes:
- Banana Sushi or Peachy Peanut Butter Pita Pockets: spread layer of jam on top of peanut butter
- Yogurt Parfaits: substitute fruit spread with jam and mix with yogurt
- Whole Wheat Pancake: top with jam
Substitute berries with other juicy fruit such as cherries, peaches, nectarines, apricots, or plums.
Blend the jam (with an immersion or regular blender) if you prefer a smoother texture.
