I use it in jams too, made blueberry the other day which is really nice. Using the chia to thicken means I can reduce the amount of sugar to very little and you don't have to cook it to reach a setting point. nauru - 2019-09-03 18:57:00 |
| 9 | Nauru, would that effect how long the jam will keep for? I think it's a brilliant idea though. calista - 2019-09-03 19:02:00 |

That is a brilliant idea. Just need to make small batches so you can use them up. I was not sure how to reduce sugar in jams, now I know. Thank you marcs - 2019-09-03 19:38:00 |

Yes it does, so you have to keep it in the fridge. I usually put one in the fridge for immediate use and freeze one. I do small amounts, 500g fruit which usually gives me about 2 jars jam. nauru - 2019-09-04 19:25:00 |

| 13 | Yesterday I made some uncooked sugarless chia jam. I blitzed the thawed berries with my hand blender until almost smooth, then mixed in the chia seeds and blitzed again. Stored in the fridge, it was very nice on my toast for brekky this morning. nauru - 2019-09-26 19:16:00 |
