On Sunday I’m going thru my fridge trying to salvage produce before it’s too late. Even with three mouths to feed and cooking full time, there is always something that is on it’s way out. Believe it or not, I hate wasting food, so I’m always looking for ways to still enjoy my favorite fruits!

 

I like to freeze fruit for smoothies, dehydrate them for granola, and also make chia jam! It’s hard to imagine that chia seed were once only known for an informercial, “chia pet”. Today, these nutrient packed seeds are used in anything and everything and make for the perfect addition to jam. 

 

While you can purchase jams at a low cost, an organic one is expensive, and typically packed with too much added sugars and preservatives. You can easily make your own jam using whatever fruit you liked in just 10 minutes! You can also skip all the non essential ingredients and still have a jam that holds up for weeks.
