Cashew Free Mixed Berry Chia Jam
Bright, jammy, and bursting with real fruit flavor, this berry spread comes together on the stovetop with just a handful of wholesome ingredients. Blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, or blackberries all work beautifully here — use whatever you have on hand, fresh or frozen. A touch of honey, lemon juice, and cinnamon round out the flavor before chia seeds do the heavy lifting as a natural thickener, no pectin or store-bought additives required. The result is a glossy, spoonable jam that sets up perfectly in the fridge and tastes like summer on toast. Store-bought jams can be a minefield of unexpected ingredients and shared-facility warnings, so making your own means you know exactly what's in every jar. Slather it on sourdough, swirl it into yogurt, or spoon it over pancakes — it's endlessly versatile and genuinely hard to stop eating.
