It’s easy, quick, nutritious and delicious without unnecessary additives we find in the store-bought versions
Equipment
- A small pot
- A mason jar or a medium size serving dish
Ingredients
- 2 cups frozen blueberries
- ¼ cup water
- ¼ cup honey or maple syrup
- ¼ cup chia seeds or more for a jam texture - see notes
Instructions
- Place the frozen blueberries in a small pot and cook on medium-high heat until the blueberries are starting to thaw and are releasing some liquids.
- Add about ¼ cup water and simmer until blueberries are softened and starting to break.
- Add ¼ cup honey or maple syrup, stir and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.
- Add ¼ cup chia seeds, mix and set aside to thicken for about 20 minutes.
Notes
This sauce can be thickened and used as a jam by adding more chia seeds - Instead of ¼ cup consider ½ a cup.
This sauce or jam is best fresh but leftovers can be kept in the fridge and eaten within a day or two.
