Raw Jam

Here's a recipe to satisfy that craving for warm toast and fruity jam that you can feel good about!

This living food is a healthy alternative to store-bought, cooked jam that is filled with sugar and preservatives!

Raw Berry-licious Jam
2 cups frozen organic berries
2 Tbsp Agave, Date Paste, Coconut Nectar or other natural sweetener - do not use sugar 
1 tsp fresh lemon or lime juice
pinch sea salt
3 Tbsp Chia seeds
  • My favourite combination is strawberries, wild blueberries and blackberries, but you could use any frozen fruit
  • First thaw the berries and then mash with a potato masher - leaving some chunks
  • Add a natural sweetener (more or less to suit your taste), lemon juice, sea salt, and mix through
  • Mix Chia seeds into the jam and allow to sit for 15 minutes or more to thicken
  • Stored in a glass jar with a lid in the refrigerator, the jam will last for 1 week
  • Spread Berry-licious Jam on any homemade raw bread that has been warmed in the dehydrator, or drop a dollop on top of raw cookies - and enjoy!
