About the Recipe
This vibrant jam combines the antioxidant power of berries with the anti-inflammatory benefits of turmeric and cinnamon, both known to support joint health and blood sugar stability. Chia seeds provide omega-3s and fiber to help regulate digestion and glucose absorption. The result is a rich, golden jam with a berry burst and a gentle warming spice — delicious on toast, stirred into oatmeal, or eaten by the spoon.
Focus: Anti-Inflammatory + Blood Sugar Friendly
Flavor: Bright, spiced, lightly sweet
Ingredients
Ingredients:
1½ cups mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)
1 tsp ground turmeric
¼ tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp lemon juice
2 tbsp chia seeds
1–2 tbsp monk fruit sweetener or stevia (adjust to taste)
¼ cup watera
Preparation
Instructions:
In a small saucepan, combine berries and water over medium heat.
Stir occasionally, letting the berries break down (about 8–10 minutes).
Mash lightly with a fork or potato masher.
Add turmeric, cinnamon, lemon juice, and sweetener. Stir well.
Mix in chia seeds and let simmer on low for 5 more minutes.
Turn off heat and let jam thicken as it cools (chia seeds will absorb liquid).
Once cooled, transfer to a glass jar and refrigerate. Keeps for about 7–10 days.
