Jump to Recipe

A dream so a blackberry Chia jam! why? Because it is so easy to make. I am currently addicted to the harvest madness, because our blackberry bushes give just once again everything. There are so many berries that I have already begged friends and acquaintances to come. Unfortunately, we don’t have a large freezer, so I either have to process them fresh or give them away. When you consider that organic berries cost up to five euros in the supermarket, then you realize the value that hangs around in the garden. I will come up with some more in the next few days and if you are from near Regensburg, feel free to drop by and get some for free Blackberries .

Vegan berries jam … a dream

It really makes me so incredibly happy when I go to my blackberry bushes in the morning when the sun is shining. Unfortunately, the other harvest (walnuts, plums and Arrows l) did not turn out so particularly well, so I am even more pleased with the small black berries. Those who know me a bit already know that I am a great friend of as simple as possible Recipes are. Therefore, I immediately came up with the idea to make a lightning jam from it. Berries, maple syrup, chia seeds, vanilla and lemon juice. Boil once until everything thickens and fill into airtight jars, ready.

TIP: Always sterilize the jars and lids beforehand, i.e. briefly bathe them in boiling hot water or use the special program in the steamer. In this way, you ensure that no unwanted bacteria or germs cause the jam to go moldy after a short time.

How healthy are actually blackberries?

The answer to this question is clear and simple, because the dark berry is actually very healthy. More precisely, these are small vitamin bombs that are placed under among other things, have the highest content of provitamin A among berries. But also otherwise, the little beauties can really be seen:

  • Contain anthocyanins (secondary plant compounds) are said to have a cell-protective effect and reduce the risk of cancer according to studies
  • High ballast content
  • B vitamins (involved in many metabolic functions)
  • Vitamin C & E (cell protective)
  • Very high content of provitamin A (converted by the body into vitamin A – important for the visual process).
  • Low calorie with 50kcal per 100g

TIP: Blackberries are very delicate and spoil relatively quickly. It is best to store in the refrigerator and consume within 1-2 days. In the 0-degree compartment they last up to a week.

If you do not have blackberries at home, you can also make the jam with other berries of your choice. Strawberries , blueberries, gooseberries or Raspberries , everything is allowed. Alternatively, frozen berries or berry mixes will also work.

The jam goes perfectly on a slice of sourdough bread, in your favorite yogurt or as a topping to your favorite Granola :
