blueberries

🥗Healthier: blackberries

💰Cheaper: frozen blueberries

Frozen blueberries are often cheaper and just as nutritious.

Put 3 cups of frozen blueberries into a pot.

Add 0.5 cups of water to the pot with the blueberries.

Heat the pot until the mixture comes to a boil, which takes about 5 minutes.

Once boiling, use a potato masher to mash the blueberries until desired consistency is reached.

Add 2.5 teaspoons of chia seeds to the pot after removing it from the heat.

Mix the chia seeds into the blueberry mixture thoroughly.

Let the mixture sit for about 4 minutes to allow it to thicken as the chia seeds absorb the liquid.

Spoon the finished blueberry chia jam into a mason jar for storage.
