Lemon Blueberry Chia Jam – All natural jam recipe that takes 5 minutes to make.  Made with fresh picked blueberries straight from the farm. Lemon Blueberry Chia Jam by www.thecasualcrafltete.com Blueberry season is in full swing here in Southern Illinois, so today I am sharing a Lemon Blueberry Chia Jam recipe.  Recently I went with my husband and daughter to the local orchards to pick some blueberries.  The berries are so much bigger and have a better taste than store bought ones.  This jam recipe has only 4 all natural ingredients.  It’s loaded with tons of healthy goodness and is delicious.  Plus, it is extremely easy to make!  Unlike most jams, this recipe seriously takes about 5 minutes to make.  Your friends and family will think you slaved for hours.

This jam is made with lemon zest and juice, blueberries, local honey and chia seeds.  The blueberries and chia seeds both contain antioxidants which help prevent or delay cell damage and also help to improve memory and revive your skin.  Chia seeds also are rich in omega 3 fatty acids, protein, fiber and calcium.  Local honey helps relieve seasonal allergy symptoms.  I’d say that’s some serious healthy benefits packed into some seriously tasty jam!  It’s good for us runners and our sore muscles.

I enjoy eating the jam on my morning english muffin.  It would also be great on pancakes and toast.  This recipe makes a small batch, so I never have to worry about the jam going bad because it is all ate in just a few days.  I guess you could freeze it, if you really wanted to.

    Hi Katie!

    I am drooling over this jam, it looks so delicious! I’ve actually never tried anything with chia seeds before, but something like this might be the perfect place to start, ha ha ha. I’d love to have you link up with me and the Create & Share DIY and Recipe Party; this would make a wonderful addition! I hope to see you there soon!
