With bright blueberry flavors and a wonderful luscious texture, this jam is brilliant on the traditional PBJ (or ABJ - almond), but would also be a lovely topping to waffles or even ice cream. With comments of "You totally need to sell this stuff!", I declare this jam a true winner.
1/4 cup real maple syrup, preferably the richer Grade B
1/4 cup chia seed
Place blueberries and maple syrup into a saucepan over medium heat and bring to a simmer. Stir occasionally until the berries soften and begin to pop. Add the chia seeds and reduce heat slightly. Continue to simmer, stirring occasionally, until the mixture becomes thick - 15-20 minutes. (For even thicker jam give it another 5 minutes or so... keep a close eye though as jam reduces so as not to burn. Reduce heat to low if necessary).
Remove from heat and spoon into jars. Allow to cool, then cover and place in the fridge to chill. Jam will remain fresh a week or two... but ours didn't make it past 5 days before we needed a new batch. #heavenly
