Blackberry Chia Jam
I make this jam with low-glycemic sweeteners like coconut sugar and agave, but you can replace it with any kind of sweetener you like.

- 1 quart bag of fresh or previously frozen blackberries, washed well
- 1 cup coconut sugar
- 2-3 Tablespoons agave
- 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
- 3 Tablespoons chia seeds
In a medium saucepan, cook blackberries, coconut sugar, agave, and lemon juice down on a low boil for about 8-10 minutes, mashing the berries with a potato masher after about 5 minutes. DO NOT ADD ANY WATER!!
Stir in chia seeds and cook over low heat for about 5-7 minutes until jam thickens. Cool to room temperature. Pour into jars that had been washed in the dishwasher and are completely clean. Refrigerate.
Can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 weeks or frozen with airtight lids.
