I love it when I am able to make something I love in a very simple way. I love making jam but the truth is that it is time consuming and my family ends up not using the jams I make. Not because it comes out bad or they are not good jams, but because I am the only one that loves to eat it!
If you are following my Weight Loss Challenge for 2014 you know that I am following the Trim Healthy Mama way of eating and I can't say it enough...it has changed the way I eat and how I see food! I love to eat but for me food has become fuel. Fuel to make sure I don't go on empty and have a hypoglecia seizure.
I love pancakes and having these with jam, well it is glorious for me!
This is my less than 10 minutes recipe of Tripple Berry Healthy Mama Jam!
Yes, it took me less than 10 minutes to make this jam!!!
Here are the ingredients:
*1 Cup of Berry Medley- I used them as they were frozen
*1 Tablespoon of water
*1 Tablespoon of Chia Seeds- Chia seeds have so many healthy benefits you really should research it and add it to your diet. I use it on a daily basis and love it!
*Stevia powder to taste
Directions:
In a pot add your Berries and the 1 tablespoon of water. When the berries start to thaw mash them to the consistency you would like for your jam. When the berries start to bubble turn OFF heat and add your Stevia to taste (be very careful with stevia, a little goes a long way!) and the 1 Tablespoon of Chia seeds. Stir until you see your jam starting to get jelly because of the Chia seeds. Turn the flame on again to a low simmer. Stir for about 2 minutes and your are DONE! I think it took me about 8 min. from start to finish to make this yummy jam!
I used it on my Trim Healthy Mama Pancakes made with Oat flour and I added 1 teaspoon of organic peanut butter to the top of my pancakes. I wish I had a photo of my pancakes with this deliciousness on top of them but they were so good I gobble them up!
When my jam was done I just poured into this small mason jar with a lid and done! It will be good for about 1 week in the refrigerator. Perfect just for me!
Enjoy!
