It’s still summertime! Grab your favorite fruit and make homemade jam. The best part about this jam is that is only uses 3 ingredients: fruit of your choice, chia seeds, and dates for a natural sweetener. Yup, there’s no added sugar AND it’s both whole30 and paleo! You can of course substitute honey or maple syrup in place of the dates.

I’ve been jamming away all summer – apricot, strawberry, peach, blueberry. Pretty much whatever fruit I find on sale turns into this week’s homemade jam. Some fruits obviously work better than others. Berries are great for example (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries) but melons (watermelon, cantaloupe) not so much. You can find which fruits are good for jams here.

I know you’ll be tempted to add liquid. Don’t. Once the fruit starts to cook down, you’ll see it’s not needed.

I want to try this with Carrie mangos. They are already extra sweet. My question is, what are the chia seeds for.

The chia seeds are used as an all-natural thickening agent.

I will likely be giving the recipe 5 stars once I make it. I am right now in my search stage. Good idea to make in slow-cooker. I will myself add 1/10th the usual conventional sugar. Initial plan is to try frozen fruit as an experiment.
