This is SO easy and so tasty, you can use any berry or berry combo you like, it’s a great basic to have in the fridge.

Free from refined sugars, rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory omega 3 fatty acids – nourishing for both the brain and the heart!

This jam is a must to serve with my Gluten Free Orange and Date Scones, or Gluten Free Fruit Spice Bread.

Lauren's Notes

If you don't have chia seeds, you can use psyllium husks to swell and bind.
