Raw Peach Chia Jam

What to do when you get 15 peaches from your farm share and your husband HATES peaches? You make peach chia jam, of course!

I have to say, this came out surprisingly good! Regular jam is loaded with sugar and typically has gelatin. This jam has just 2 simple ingredients- peaches and chia seeds. It's pure, healthy and delicious. 

If you like your jam sweet you could probably add a touch of honey or maple syrup. I prefer a little tartness to my jam so this was perfect for me.

Try spreading this on toast, crackers, mixing it in yogurt or in oatmeal. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised at how delicious it is! 

Peaches are packed with antioxidants which are known to prevent against many types of cancer. Peaches contain Vitamin A which is known to promote eye and skin health, and Vitamin C which can help ward off illness and strengthen the immune system. Eating a peach may also aid with weight loss as it's a very low calorie fruit and contains a good amount of fiber to keep you feeling full and satisfied.

Ingredients:

3 peaches- sliced

1/8 cup chia seeds

Directions:

1) Add peach slices and chia seeds to a food processor and blend until smooth.

2) Add mixture to a container and allow it to set in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours, but preferably overnight.

*Recipe makes a decent amount of jam that will probably only last for a couple of days in the fridge. I would recommend freezing some if and defrosting whenever you want a healthy and sweet treat. :)
