Cherry Chia Conserve

This is a basic method of making a refined-sugar-free black cherry jam.

What you need:

1 cup pitted fresh cherries

1/2 cup water

2 tbls chia seeds

1 teaspoon coconut sugar (optional)

Method:

Put cherries (pitted and halved) and water in a pan then simmer them for 7 mins. If you are really lazy, you can buy a cherry pitter from City 'Super!

Take the pan off the heat then stir in 2 tbls chia seeds and allow to cool.

Refrigerate overnight and wake up to homemade jam!

Add coconut sugar to taste if you so desire. I used 1 teaspoon. Pile onto hot buttered toast.

This was homemade (ish) bread using a 10 grain mix from Bob's Red Mill.

Makes one small pot.
