Ingredients
Instructions
-
Place berries in a medium pan. Using frozen berries will create moisture as they thaw which is needed for the chia gel to form.
-
Let the berries defrost over medium heat until a decent amount of liquid is formed. This takes about 15-20 minutes.
-
Mash up any large berries if you wish.
-
Turn heat to low and add chia seeds, stirring frequently to prevent scorching. The berries and chia seeds will form your beautiful preserves. This takes about 5-10 minutes.
-
Add stevia to taste.
-
Transfer to a sealable container and store in fridge.
