Apricot Chia Seed Jam
I’m loving all the apricots that are in season now. Summer please don’t go away! There are so many yummy fruits and I wish they were in season all year long! Someone from work brought a box of apricots from their tree and I was lucky enough to grab a bag. They were so delicious and I wanted to make some jam out of it.

Ingredients
- 4 cups apricots, pitted and halved
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 2 1/2 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Put the apricots in a food processor and pulse a few times. Pulse longer if you don’t like chunks and less if you do.
- Combine apricots and maple syrup in a medium saucepan over medium to high heat. Bring to a simmer and stir frequently. Once simmering, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 5 more minutes. Remember to keep stirring.
- Stir in the chia seeds until combined and continue to cook and stir until mixture thickens. Stir stir stir for about 15 minutes. It will thicken more once cooled too.
- Once jam is your preferred thickness, remove the pan from heat and stir in the vanilla. Add more sweetener if you think it’s too tart. Let it cool.
- Enjoy!
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
