How long does this raspberry chia jam last in the fridge?

Store this jam in a clean jar in the fridge, where it will last for about 1-2 weeks.

Can I use frozen raspberries instead of fresh?

Yes, you can use frozen raspberries. They might release a bit more liquid, so you might need to cook the jam for an extra minute or two until it thickens slightly.

What makes this jam thicken without pectin?

The chia seeds are the key ingredient for thickening this jam. They absorb liquid and create a gel-like consistency as the mixture cooks and cools.

Can I adjust the sweetness of the jam?

Yes, the recipe suggests sweetening to taste with a little more maple syrup if needed after the initial cooking, ensuring it's perfect for your preference.

How do I know when the jam is thick enough?

The jam will thicken slightly on the stovetop as the raspberries break down. Remember, it will continue to set even more once it cools down in the fridge.
