Berry, chia jam

Ingredients:

• 3 cups of frozen organic berries. A mixture of mostly raspberries would be nice or strawberries
• 1/4 cup of chia seeds
• 4 tablespoons of maple syrup
• 1/4 cup of water
• Some vanilla scraped from the vanilla pod
• love

Directions:

1. I placed the frozen berries in a saucepan with water stirred over a low heat until they turned into a chunky puree.

2. As the berries melt and become softer I added the chia seed and the maple syrup and the vanilla. Instead of the vanilla I sometimes add a very finely chopped kaffir lime leaf. 

3. Keep stirring to make sure the chia is spread well. Then take off the heat and leave for 10 minutes to cool -stirring occasionally.

4. Pour into sterilised jar and refrigerate until cooled then it is ready to eat. Great on buckwheat bread or with the nut crackers.
