Macadamia 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 your fridge at all times. It comes together with just a handful of clean, simple ingredients — berries, honey, lemon juice, cinnamon, and chia seeds — so you always know exactly what's going into the jar. The chia seeds do the heavy lifting here, naturally thickening the jam as it cools without any pectin or refined sugar needed. Store-bought jams can be a minefield of unexpected additives and shared-facility warnings, but making your own means total control over every ingredient. You can go rustic and chunky or mash it smooth depending on your mood, and either way it sets up beautifully after a quick chill in the fridge. Spoon it over toast, swirl it into yogurt, or dollop it onto oatmeal — honestly, the hardest part is deciding where to use it first.

Use the back of a spoon or spatula to gently mash the berries to your preferred texture — leave some chunks for a rustic jam or mash thoroughly for a smoother spread.
