Ingredients

2 cups frozen mango chunks
2 tbsp white chia seeds (whole or ground)
1 tbsp lemon juice

Method

1. Microwave your frozen mangoes and lemon juice for 3 minutes or (if you have more time) heat  in a small pot over medium heat. You are trying to allow the juices to escape so that the chia seeds have something to turn into a gel.
2. Allow the mangoes to cool slightly, then blend in a blender, food processor, or immersion blender until desired texture.
3. Add the chia seeds to the blended mangoes and stir.
4. Allow to sit until the chia seeds thicken the mixture into a jam consistency. This can take 5 to 30 minutes depending on how juicy your fruit was.
5. Place in an airtight container and store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.

Notes:

1. You can substitute 1 cup of the mangoes for frozen peaches a delicious, summery flavour variation.
2. If you like a seedy texture in your jam use whole white chia seeds, and if you like a smoother texture use ground white chia seeds.
3. You can use lemon juice freshly squeezed from a lemon or pre-bought lemon juice. I buy pure lemon juice and freeze it in 1 tbsp cubes which makes it last longer and makes it easier to use in recipes like this!
4. This jam is amazing swirled into coconut yogurt (along with passion fruit!), atop a bowl of oats, in the bottom of a Chia Pudding parfait, or as a spread with a charcuterie board.
