Chia Berry Jam

Jellies and jams always look so pretty on the Brunch table but I usually pass on them.

Even the homemade ones are usually packed to the rim with sugar and the store bought ones come with chemicals to boot.

If you're ready to say YES to that smear of jam on your Ezekiel toast then THIS is the recipe you've been hoping for!

Summer brings an abundance of fresh berries of all types and this is the perfect way to use them up. Berry picking is a great way to spend an active family day with nature too! Here's your excuse to schedule a Saturday berry picking trip followed by a jam packed Sunday brunch.
