Wish you could help fight the flu at breakfast? This tasty topping is filled with ingredients that can help boost your immune system and keep you healthy.
Ingredients
- 2 cups frozen blueberries
- ¼ – ½ cup dried elderberries
- 2 cups water
- 4-6 tbsp chia seeds
- 2 tbsp sugar, honey, maple syrup or sweetener of
choice - The juice of one medium-sized lemon
Directions
- Combine blueberries, elderberries and water in a
medium-sized saucepan and simmer on low for 20 minutes or until the blueberries
are broken down. - Strain your berry mixture through a fine mesh
strainer making sure you’re smashing the berries to get every last bit of juice
out and pour the liquid back into the sauce pan. - Bring your liquid to a low simmer and let it
reduce by approximately 25%. - Remove your saucepan from the heat and add your
lemon juice and sugar to taste. - Add 4 tbsps of chia seeds and mix.*Note: if you
don’t want the crunch of chia seeds in your jam, blend the mixture in your
blender or with an immersion mixer - Let your
jam set for 15-20 minutes and check the consistency. Too runny? Add more chia seeds. - Keep your jam in the fridge for up to 10 days,
and enjoy on top of oatmeal, toast, ice cream and more!
