Dr. Wendy Bazilian’s: Raspberry Chia Jam

Makes 1 cup, 16, 1-Tbsp. servings
Prep time: 5 minutes
Total time: 20 minutes

3 cups fresh or frozen raspberries
3 tablespoons orange juice
2 tablespoons chia seeds
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1. Stir the raspberries, chia seeds, and orange juice together in a medium saucepan. Bring to a light boil, then reduce the heat to simmer and cook, uncovered, until the raspberries break down and the mixture thickens, 10 to 12 minutes.
2. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla. Let cool 20 minutes.
3. The jam will thicken more as it cools. If you prefer a smoother jam, use an immersion/hand blender to puree to the desired consistency.
