Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 cups frozen blueberries thawed
  • 5-6 pitted dates soaked in warm water for 10 minutes
  • 2 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1-2 tbsp fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  • In a blender or food processor, combine the thawed blueberries and soaked dates. Blend until smooth.
    2 cups frozen blueberries, 5-6 pitted dates
  • Pour the blended mixture into a bowl or jar. Stir in the fresh lemon juice and chia seeds until fully incorporated.
    2 tbsp chia seeds, 1-2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • Let the jam sit in the fridge for at least 2 hours, or overnight, to allow the chia seeds to thicken the mixture.
  • Once thickened, give it a good stir and enjoy! Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.

Notes

  • Chill time: For the best texture, let the jam sit in the fridge for at least 2 hours or overnight to thicken.
  • Sweetness level: Adjust the sweetness by adding more or fewer dates, depending on your taste.
  • Substitutes: If you prefer, swap chia seeds with ground flaxseeds for a similar thickening effect.
  • Consistency: For a chunkier jam, pulse the ingredients briefly before fully blending.
  • Storage: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks, or freeze for up to 3 months.
