30 min | 4 servings

Ingredients

• 2 cups berries (fresh or frozen) - I find that the small (10oz) bags of frozen berries sold at any grocery store work well for this!

• ¼ cup water

• 2 ½ tbsp chia seeds

• 1-2 tbsp your choice of sweetener (maple syrup, monkfruitt sweetener, raw honey, etc.)

• 1 tbsp lemon juice

• Pinch sea salt

Preparation

1. Place a small pot on medium-low heat and add the berries and water. Cook until the fruit begins to break down and become jam like, 5-7 minutes. 

2. Add in the remaining ingredients and simmer for an additional 1-2 minutes. 

3. Remove from heat and let cool for 15min before transferring to an airtight container.

4. Store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
