Pescatarian Mixed Berry Chia Jam
Bright, jammy, and bursting with real fruit flavor, this mixed berry chia 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 wholesome ingredients — berries, honey, lemon juice, a pinch of cinnamon, and chia seeds — so you know exactly what's going into every spoonful. Store-bought jams are often loaded with refined sugars and preservatives, but this version lets the fruit do the heavy lifting while the chia seeds work their magic as a natural thickener. The result is a luscious, spreadable jam with a gorgeous deep color and a subtle warmth from the cinnamon. You can keep it rustic with some berry chunks or mash it smooth depending on your mood — either way, it sets up beautifully after a quick chill in the fridge. Slather it on toast, swirl it into yogurt, or spoon it over oatmeal for a breakfast that feels a little indulgent without any guilt attached.
