Blueberry Peach Chia Jam (Gluten-Free, Vegan/Plant-Based, RSF)

Blueberry Peach Chia Jam

Fresh jam in 20 minutes – no pectin, no gelatin, noΒ canning, no fuss. . .

The other day I was gathering the usual suspects for a typical breakfast for my selective eater. Gluten-free bread-check, organic peanut butter-check, Red Star Yeast Flakes for all of those B-vitamins-check, and jam-chhhhh-no check! Usually I keep backups in the pantry of all of the items that we use on a regular basis, yet somehow this one had fallen through the cracks on the last grocery list. No jelly! I didn’t feel like assembling everyone and rushing out to the store.Β What’s the expression? “Great things are born out of necessity.” So I told theΒ kids breakfast would be a little late and grabbed my chia seeds.Β Yes, chia seeds. I knew they would be my ticket to a quick jelly. That magical thickening, gelatinous power they have wasΒ the solution to my breakfast problem. Out came the Vitamix (but a high-speed blender will do), freshΒ  fruit, vanilla, and some natural sweeteners (I used maple syrup and coconut nectar). Blend it all ’til smooth, bring to a simmer on the stove, add the chia, simmer 15 minutes more while stirring–and voila, 20 minutes later I was on myΒ way to making a deliciousΒ PB&J!

The obvious benefit to this recipe isΒ being able to make fresh jamΒ quickly and easily with no hassle. But the nutritional benefits are nothing to sneeze at.Β  (Ha!) There are no refined sugars like those found in most jams, including the organic off-the-shelf products. There are noΒ animal by-products like thoseΒ used in gelatin. Chia seeds – where do I begin? High fiber, high protein, omega 3 fatty acids, magnesium, zinc, iron and calcium–just to name some of the nutrients they provide. Then a nice dose of the vitamins and minerals that are in your fruit selection for your Fruity Chia Jam. For my maiden voyage I used blueberries and peach.

Blueberry Peach Chia Jam

Fresh jam in 20 minutes - no pectin, no gelatin, no canning, no fuss. . . Blueberry Peach Chia Jam is deliciously fresh and bursting with nutrients--not to mention the texture is perfect for the quintessential Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup sliced peach
  • 1 cup blueberries
  • 2 tablespoons raw coconut nectar
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons chia seeds

Instructions

  • 1) Place sliced peach, blueberries, coconut nectar, maple syrup and vanilla extract in blender and blend until smooth.
  • 2) Pour into sauce pan, place over medium heat and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low simmer for 5 minutes while stirring occasionally.
  • 3) Add chia seeds and stir well. Continue to simmer for an additional 15 minutes (or until desired thickness) while stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and to allow even cooking. It will continue to thicken once it is removed from the heat.
  • 4) Remove from heat and taste. If a sweeter flavor is desired more sweetener can be added. Pour in bowl and allow to cool. Store in refrigerator in a sealed container.

    Can I substitute agave nectar for the coconut nectar? Has anyone tried this?
