Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, heat 3 cups blueberries, 1/2 cup sugar, and 2 tsp lemon juice over medium heat. Stir often.
- Once the blueberries have released their moisture stir in 4 tbsp of chia seeds. Stir well and break up any chia seed lumps.
- Turn the heat down to a low simmer, add the lemon zest, and continue cooking until the jam has thickened and the blueberries have broken down. The jam will continue to thicken slightly as it cools. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
