<\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe ingredients you will need for your apricot jam<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
This recipe can also be made with only 2 ingredients, namely: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
- Apricots <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
- Chia seeds<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
The ingredients in the recipe further down include sugar, but it is optional and even if removed you will get a great result!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chia seeds, what are they and why eat them?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
As you may have guessed, this apricot jam made of Chia seeds<\/a> thickens precisely because of chia seeds. These are rich in minerals, Omega3 and Vitamin C. They are therefore classified as a true Superfood<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When chia seeds come into contact with a liquid substance they swell, forming almost a viscid, dense hood on their outside. This is why they are used for making puddings or indeed jams!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here are the steps you will need to perform for apricot jam<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The steps you will need to perform are few and simple. It is also a recipe that is forgiving of \"mistakes\" and has a lot of leeway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
Remove the stone from the apricots. Coarsely chop them and cook on low heat for 20-25 minutes or until soft and fluffy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mash them with a potato masher or with a fork<\/p>\n\n\n\n
