Notes

Net carbs per serving: 1.3g
Storage: Store the mixed berry chia jam in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Freezing: This chia jam freezes very well. Let cool completely and then freeze for up to 3 months.
Sweetener: This recipe calls for 1 cup of sweetener to make this low carb jam. If you are not using raspberries and are using all sweeter berries like strawberries and blackberries, I recommend cutting the sweetener amount in half.
Add-ins: This chia seed jam is also great with a couple teaspoons of lemon or orange zest. It adds an extra burst of citrus flavor. You can also add a teaspoon of pure vanilla extract. Lastly, you can add some warm spices like cinnamon, ginger, or nutmeg for a delicious fall flavored variation.
Getting the taste and texture right: If your jam is too thin, add more chia seeds. If your jam is too tart, add a little more sweetener.
