#ad Homemade jam with just TWO ingredients?! 🍇✨ This is one of my favorite things to make and keep on hand this time of year! This California Grape Chia Jam is one of my favorite ways to turn naturally sweet grapes into a simple spread with no added sugar. And grapes bring more to the table than just great flavor… Grapes of all colors (red, green, and black) are a natural source of antioxidants and other polyphenols. These beneficial plant compounds help promote antioxidant activity and support healthy cell function, with research also suggesting some positive benefits for heart health and healthy aging. And when you combine California grapes with chia seeds, you get a delicious jam with 2g of fiber per serving! 🍇 California Grape Chia Jam
• 1½ lbs. seedless California grapes
• ¼ cup chia seeds Add the grapes to a saucepan and cook over medium heat for about 30 minutes, stirring and mashing as they soften. Once the grapes have cooked down, stir in the chia seeds. Transfer to a container and refrigerate until thickened. That’s it! 🙌 The recipe makes about 1¼ cups jam and is perfect for spreading on toast, swirling into yogurt or oatmeal, topping pancakes, or pairing with nut butter. Make sure to let me know if you try it! #grapesfromCA #chiajam #diabetes #bloodsugar
