Berry Jam
Cook the following ingredients down in a saucepan over high heat stirring intermittently until the berries soften and the mixtures starts to thicken:
Ingredients:- 2 cups of berries (I used blackberries and raspberries because that’s what I had on hand...but you could use either by themselves.)
- 1 cup of water
- Stevia to taste
Directions:- In a small bowl, soften one tablespoon of chia seeds with about twice as much boiling water.
- Stir the soften chia seeds into the berry mixture and cook about five minutes longer, while continuing to stir.
- Pour the mixture into the blender and hit puree, then let it blend for a minute or two.
- The mixture will now be nice and thick and taste very good...if you like seeds. However...I’m not a big seed fan, so I decided to strain it.
- It was pretty thick, so straining it took a little time. I had a small strainer and put it over a glass. I tried mashing it through with a spoon and that worked a little bit...but...when I started just tapping the strainer on top of the glass, it started going through a bit more quickly..
- Straining it took a little time, but the end result was totally worth it...the jam was delicious! I stored it in a small jar in the refrigerator, and I don’t know how long it will stay good, but I don’t imagine it’ll last long, so it won’t matter.
I used the Red Lobster Cheese Biscuit recipe to make plain biscuits. I just didn’t put in the cheese or any of the seasonings except for the salt (one pinch). I cooked these in a Pyrex measuring cup in the microwave, and then ate them piping hot with Kerry Gold butter and some of the jam. They were REALLY good.
Enjoy!
