On my journey to eat natural whole foods, I am experimenting to make things at home that I may ordinarily buy from a grocery store. One of these things was a healthy raspberry jam/preserve. In my college apartment I experimented and created this wonderful recipe. Not only is the jam so fresh and tasty, the whole process of making it-- the tantalizing aromas and warmth- is a beautiful experience. ~Shreya
Ingredients:
- Raspberries (fresh or frozen)

Place raspberries in a pan, and simmer for about 5-10 minutes until the berries are warm and become a loose consistency.
Add in the vanilla extract, sweetener, and chia seeds.
Let simmer for 5 more minutes. Remove from heat, let it cool, and enjoy your freshly made jam in any way you would like! On toast, oatmeal , pancakes, mixed nuts, the possibilities are endless. :)
