This cherry chia jam could not be easier to make. You just need THREE ingredients and less than 10 minutes to make a delicious batch of jam that is MUCH lower in sugar than store-bought jam…and tastes way better too! This cherry chia jam is adapted from the blueberry chia jam recipe I shared on my blog over two years ago now. I love that this recipe is very freezer-friendly, so feel free to make a double batch and freeze half to have on hand for later! This jam can be blended after cooking for a super smooth, more jelly-like texture or left with some fruit chunks in, more like jam. You can do whatever you prefer! I cannot wait for you to try this recipe yourself!
