    10 min. Rasperry Orange Chia Jam - simplehealthykitchen.com

    After you try making this really easy (you only need one sauce pan and 10 min.) really healthy ( it’s packed full of antioxidants and fiber) jam, you just might find you’ll never need to stroll down the jelly/jam aisle of the store ever again! Yes! It’s really that good!

    Making jam has a reputation of being tedious, and labor intensive. Not to mention, many jams also have high sugar content. Nah..Nah..Nah! not this jam. Just fresh raspberries, honey (natures sweetener), super healthy chia seeds and a touch of vanilla and orange.

    The best part of it all…it takes less than 10 minutes to whip up! Simple, and healthy, and delicious!
    Oh, and did I mention VERSATILE! Perfect for all the things you would normally think of using jam for, things like :

    1. Slathering on hot crusty toast

    9. Use in place of regular jam in Holiday Thumb Print Cookies or try these Healthy Oat Thumbprint Cookies (from MyFussyEater.com)

    10. Make a vinaigrette

    ¼ cup white balsamic vinegar
    2 cups olive oil
    ½ tsp salt
    ½ tsp dry mustard
    3 Tablespoons Raspberry Orange Chia jam
    Combine all ingredients in a glass jar with a tight-fitting lid and shake until all ingredients are emulsified.

    11. Make a hostess gift basket- package jam in a pretty glass jar, add a fresh loaf of bread, holiday coffee mugs and a package of your favorite coffee. Your hostess will be all set for breakfast the morning after the party.

    12. Substitute the regular raspberry jam for raspberry orange chia jam in this recipe for Baked Coconut Shrimp with Raspberry Chile Sauce

This recipe can easily be made with other berries of your choice…so pick up what’s in season and give this easy healthy jam a try.
