Author Notes
This recipe is my go-to for any kind of jam. It's very easy and quick to make, plus it's healthy with no refined sugars. I use chia seeds as the thickening agent instead of pectin. Raspberry jam is my favourite but I use this recipe base for any kind of berry jam (blueberry, blackberry or even cherry). —Megan Field
