Low-carb raspberry chia jam

Ingredients for 1 servings:

• 3 cup(s) raspberries, frozen is also possible
• 4 tbsp chia seeds
• n. B. Sweetener
• some vanilla flavor, or vanilla pod

Instructions

Working time approx. 10 minutes; Rest time approx. 2 hours; Cooking/baking time approx. 10 minutes; Total time approx. 2 hours 20 minutes

no cooking, no sugar

Fresh raspberries: Puree the raspberries, chia seeds, sweetener, and vanilla with a hand blender for about 1 minute. Let the mixture rest for about 10 minutes, as the chia seeds will now do their work. After 10 minutes, stir the jam, pour into a jar, and let it rest in the refrigerator for a few hours. Frozen raspberries: Thaw the fruit briefly (1-2 minutes, depending on the quantity) in the microwave or at room temperature for one to two hours before preparation. Prepare as above, except you may need to use a little more chia seeds, as they contain more liquid. This mixture doesn’t necessarily have to be used as “jam.” I add about a tablespoon to low-fat natural yogurt or quark for a delicious and healthy, sugar-free snack. Or as a milkshake, use a tablespoon in a glass of milk.
