Instrucciones para la impresión en alta definición
- Place the fruits, fresh or frozen, into a saucepan and bring the saucepan to low-medium heat.
- Stir and mash fruits with a fork or potato masher to form a fruit mash. If the fruits are frozen, they are difficult to mash straight away, so stir and cook the fruits and mash as soon as they have softened.
- Stir in chia seeds or arrowroot flour, bring to a light boil, and stir/cook for 1-2 minutes until the mixture thickens. Remove the saucepan from the heat.
- Let the jam cool completely in a glass mason jar for 15 minutes. Then close it with a lid and place it in the fridge to thicken.

Ingredientes y sustituciones
It’s made with 2 simple healthy ingredients:
- Bayas – Feel free to use fresh or frozen fruits. Both work very well. The best choice listed in order of sweetness, from the sweeter to the most bitter, are blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries.
- semillas de chia or ground chia seeds – These super seeds contain lots of fiber, omega-3, plant-based proteins, and antioxidants. Once in contact with water or juicy fruits, they soak up the liquid and form a gel-like texture similar to jam. As a result, they are the perfect healthy ingredients to create a jam-like texture without adding sugar to kid food. You can also use ground chia seeds to avoid the lumpy texture of chia seeds in your jam.
You can add some other ingredients to your baby chia jam recipe to add an extra flavor to your jam like:
- Zumo de limón – perfect with blueberries but not recommended if you are making a raspberry chia jam recipe. In fact, raspberries or naturally bitter, so adding lemon turns the baby jam very sour. Sour is a great flavor to introduce to babies, but too many sour fruits can upset their gut.
- Vanilla extract or pure vanilla seeds – to add a hint of vanilla flavor.
- Edulcorante – you can sweeten the jam with 1-2 tablespoons of maple syrup or stevia.

Yes, chia seeds are fine for babies. It might be advisable to pre-soak them though.
Can’t wait to make this!!!
Am I able to can these by pressure sealing them and keep it in the cupboard? Thanks!
I didn’t try these options so unfortunately I can’t recommend
can you use boiling water bath method, called canning, using chia seed or ground chia for thickener with strawberries? if so, can you give me some details. thank you very much
You can’t really can chia seed jam made without sugar because sugar is what acts as a preservative. This recipe is not sweetened so I don’t think it will last well.
What is the purpose of cooking the berries? I just add fresh berries and chia seeds together in my food processor and that’s it.
You can make raw chia seed jam but cooking berries make the jam thicker, stickier closer to real jam. It also preserve the jam longer.
