Step 1

In a medium-sized pot, bring the blackberries to a low boil, stirring frequently. Reduce heat to low and simmer until the berries soften, about 5 minutes. Lightly mash the blackberries with a potato masher or fork. Leave some berries in chunks for texture.

Step 2

Stir in the maple syrup and chia seeds. Cook the jam on low until it thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Make sure you stir the jam so it doesn't stick.

Step 3

Remove the jam from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Let the jam cool to room temperature. Pour into a glass jar or air-tight container and store in the refrigerator. The jam will keep in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.

Step 4

Note-you can sweeten the jam with honey, agave, or another sweetener if you wish. You can freeze the jam in an air-tight container.

Chef’s notes

You can sweeten the jam with honey, agave, or another sweetener if you wish.

Chia seeds can be found at most grocery stores. They are often available in bulk at Whole Foods.

The jam can be frozen in an air-tight container for longer preservation.
