Peach Chia Jam
This Peach Chia Jam is late summer in a jar! Made with fresh peaches, maple syrup, lemon juice and chia seeds, this peach jam without pectin recipe is both easy and healthy!
Ingredients
- 4-5 fresh peaches washed with the pits removed
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 2 tbsp chia seeds see Recipes Notes
Instructions
- Roughly chop the peaches.
- In a small saucepan, add the chopped peaches, maple syrup and lemon juice. Simmer on low heat for 10 minutes. The peaches will become syrupy and soft. As the peaches simmer, break them apart with a wooden spoon.
- Remove the peaches from the heat and then stir in the chia seeds. Set aside and allow the peach chia jam to cool. As it cools, it will continue to thicken.
- Store the peach chia jam in the refrigerator in an air-tight container. I always use mason jars. The jam should remain fresh for about 5 days.
Notes
- For this recipe, I use white chia seeds. The difference is in aesthetics. I just find that the white seeds give the peach chia jam a better appearance.
