it's getting there!

I'm getting this blog MUCH closer to where I want it to be, but it's still a slight work in progress. I've been anxious to get this blog up and running efficiently in order to be a helpful tool for myself and others, but it's been hard balancing all of this alongside trying to manage all of life's obstacles and commitments! Thank you so much for your patience!

easy PLUM JAM with CHIA SEEDS

This super-easy jam gets all its thickness from chia seeds, not from a lot of added sugar.



Makes about 2 1/4 cups

Ingredients:
1 1/2 pound plums, diced (about 3 cups)
2 tablespoons chia seeds

Method:
Combine plums and 1/4 cup water in a medium saucepan. Set over medium heat, cover and cook, stirring frequently, until fruit is very soft, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in chia seeds and let cool slightly.

If needed, transfer plum mixture to a food processor and pulse until a chunky jam forms. Spoon into 1 large or several smaller glass jars, cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours to allow the jam to thicken. The jam will keep refrigerated for up to 1 week.
