No cook, fresh fruit jam. I've never liked how much sugar is added to the typical fruit jams you get from the store. I think its a shame to have to cook fruit and lose some of the nutrition. by Francesca Hutchinson

Ingredients

  • 2 c. THRIVE Strawberry Slices - Freeze Dried OR any fruit or fruit combination you would like.
  • 1 1/4 c. Water
  • 1 tbsp. Chia Seeds

Directions

  1. Prepping your Fruit:
  2. How smooth or chunky you want your jam is completely up to you. I pulverized mine in a blender, which took about 2 seconds. You could crush your fruit in a ziplock or even just break up your fruit into smaller pieces using your hands.
  3. *
  4. Add water and let your fruit rehydrate.
  5. Optional:
  6. I didn't need to use any sweetener with my batch. You may choose to add a bit of sugar, honey, agave, or maple syrup to add some sweetness as some fruits are more tart than others.
  7. *
  8. A splash of lemon juice would be nice to brighten the flavor, but not necessary. If you happened to have our lemonade powder that would work as well.
  9. Making the Jam:
  10. Stir in the Chia Seeds.
  11. Refrigerate for 2-3 hours to allow chia seeds to develop their own healthy gelatin.
