Low Sugar Apricot Chia Jam
Print Recipe

Make a delicious low-sugar apricot chia jam. This recipe uses fresh apricots and chia seeds for a naturally thickened, healthy spread.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 500g fresh apricots, pitted and chopped
  • 1/4 cup water (or a little more if needed)
  • 2-3 tablespoons maple syrup or other liquid sweetener (adjust to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine chopped apricots and water in a medium saucepan.
  2. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
  3. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 10-15 minutes, or until apricots are very soft and break down easily.
  4. Mash the apricots with a fork or potato masher to your desired consistency. For a smoother jam, use an immersion blender or transfer to a regular blender and process until smooth.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in the maple syrup and chia seeds.
  6. Add vanilla extract if using.
  7. Pour the jam into clean jars.
  8. Let cool completely at room temperature.
  9. The jam will thicken as it cools due to the chia seeds.
  10. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of sweetener based on the sweetness of your apricots and your personal preference.
  • For a thinner jam, use slightly less chia seeds. For a thicker jam, use a little more.
  • You can add a squeeze of lemon juice at the end for extra brightness.
  • This jam is great on toast, yogurt, oatmeal, or as a filling for pastries.
