A quick, easy Small-Batch Blueberry Chia Jam that's naturally sweetened, pectin-free, and so delicious!

Mid-late summer is such an abundant time; it's hard not to be grateful. Even though we may begin to feel the cooler weather creeping closer, it's a great time to truly soak up the long, sun-filled days and indulge in all the fresh fruits and vegetables that are ready for harvest.

Blueberries are in full swing this time of year, and while it's so delightful to enjoy them fresh, it can be a challenge to make use of them ALL. Making jam is a great way to preserve your overflowing blueberry haul and enjoy them right into the winter months. However, many traditional jam recipes contain a substantial amount of processed sugar, which can counteract the nutritional benefits blueberries have to offer. This recipe is refined sugar-free and uses chia seeds rather than pectin, providing a good dose of fibre to further reduce a blood sugar spike.

Blueberries are an excellent source of antioxidants, making them a great food to promote healthy skin.
