This is your gateway jam.
I read the recipe roughly 1 million times and decided that I, Carey Polis, could in fact make jam. Especially because—there's no pectin and there's no mason jars involved. You basically boil blueberries and throw some chia seeds into the deep purple mixture . It's easier than cooking a chicken breast. Or making cookies. It's basically on par with making oatmeal and mixing a few things in it. Anyone can do it, even jam-averse me. It's foolproof. And it's really tasty.
Also, chia seeds are *magical.* At first, you're looking at basically some boiled blueberry mush. Then, when you add the chia, the mush transforms into a plump, flavorful masterpiece. The recipe calls for at least 3 tablespoons of maple syrup but I've found that you can adjust it based on how sweet you like your jam, and how sweet the blueberries are. I added about 1 teaspoon the last time I made it and it was still great.
Now that I am Officially A Jam Person, I've been using it in lots of things. Yogurt! On crackers! By the spoonful when I walk by the fridge and decide I want some!Get the Recipe:
