Caffeine Free Mixed Berry Chia Jam
Bright, jammy, and bursting with real fruit flavor, this mixed berry spread is the kind of thing you'll want to keep stocked in the fridge at all times. Unlike store-bought jams that can sneak in unexpected additives, this one is made entirely from berries, honey, lemon juice, cinnamon, and chia seeds — nothing more. The chia seeds do all the thickening work naturally, absorbing the berry juices as the jam cools and setting into a luscious, spreadable texture without any pectin or refined sugar. A touch of cinnamon adds warmth that makes the whole thing taste a little more special than your average fruit spread. You can go rustic and leave some berry chunks in there, or mash it smooth depending on your mood — either way, it's gorgeous on toast, swirled into yogurt, or spooned over oatmeal. It keeps well in the fridge, so a single batch goes a long way through the week.
