1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the frozen raspberries and blueberries, chia seeds and orange juice. Cover and let the mixture defrost for about three hours at room temperature, or overnight in the refrigerator (the front of the bottom shelf in the fridge is the ideal spot for defrosting, since it’s generally the warmest area).
2. Once the berries are defrosted and soft, use a potato masher (or the back of a big spoon or serving fork should work) to mash up the mixture to your desired consistency. I like some texture in my jam, so I don’t mash it much.
3. Taste, and if you’d like a sweeter jam, stir in some maple syrup, to taste (keep in mind that you can always just drizzle maple syrup or honey onto your jam later, if you prefer). If the chia seeds aren’t nice and plump yet, let the mixture rest for about 20 minutes to let them absorb some more moisture.
4. I love this jam on toast/pancakes/waffles/bagels, with yogurt and granola, and in chia seed pudding. Store leftover jam in the refrigerator, covered, for about 5 days.

1. Put the raspberries in a small saucepan and heat over medium-high heat. Stir occasionally with a spoon until the berries are heated through and begin to break down.
2. Using a fork, mash as much of the berries as you like to either create a more smooth or chunky chia jam.
3. Stir in the chia seeds, vanilla extract and lemon zest until well-combined. Give it a quick taste test and if your berry chia jam is not sweet enough for your liking, add a spritz of maple syrup or some brown sugar (starting with 1-2 tsp).
4. Remove the saucepan from heat and let your chia mixture cool for 5 minutes, then give it one final stir. This allows all chia seeds to absorb some of the berry liquid and turn into a nice gel over time.

1. Add the blueberries, lemon juice, zest and the maple syrup, if using to a medium sauce pot. Simmer over medium heat for about 5 minutes. You'll notice the blueberries start to burst. Gently mash with a potato masher or spoon so that roughly half your batch is smashed, leaving several chunks throughout.
2. Increase heat and boil for 5 minutes to reduce some of the liquid. Then turn off the heat and stir in your chia seeds. Transfer your jam to an airtight container or jar and chill overnight. Don't worry if your jam is looking very watery, the chia seeds will absorb much of it as it cools in the fridge.
