Ingredients
2
cups
Frozen Blueberries
1
Tbsp
Lemon Juice
4
sprigs
Fresh Thyme
1
tablespoon
Ground Chia Seeds
Instructions
Add blueberries, lemon juice, and thyme to a sauce pan, and cook over medium-low heat, mashing blueberries as they thaw.
Simmer for 3-5 minutes, until blueberry juices are released, and the thyme is fragrant.
Remove from heat, and remove the thyme sprigs from the blueberries, using tongs.
Pour blueberry mixture into a blender, and blend on high speed until smooth.
Pour into a bowl, and add the ground chia seeds. Mix well.
Chill the jam. It will become a little thicker as it cools. Stir again before using.
