What could be more wonderful than fresh Blueberry Jam on your breakfast toast? This recipe is so pure it will refresh your whole body and soul. Make it in 15 minutes or less. Blueberries are a fantastic low-carb super-food, high in anti-oxidants. They contain so much natural pectin that this jam hardly needs any other ingredients. It is also thickened with chia seeds, for a dense, spreadable jam. Some people like it very sweet, and some like it “au naturale”, so you can sweeten to taste. If you use one of these zero-carb sweeteners, you’ll be giving your blood sugar a break. This jam is fresh and raw, so it should be consumed immediately – which shouldn’t be a problem – it’s so simple and lucious, I can eat it by the spoonful! You’ll need a small size blender or a food processor. Yield: 1 cup jam.
