I’m all for being able to enjoy the foods we enjoy but without perturbing our body’s natural function.
Isolated or added sugars like in a conserve/preserve/jelly/marmalade just aren’t good for long term health, however this version uses whole fruit, chia seeds, & grass fed gelatine so you get all that added fibre and protein.
Add the berries, cored & quartered apples (keep the skins on) with the peeled & segmented orange to a pan with 2 cups water. Bring to a simmer & cooked covered for 10 minutes.
Mash the fruit together with a spoon & add the chia. Stir well & pop the lid back on. Simmer for another 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Pour into a blender, add the gelatine & blitz until totally smooth. I like to decant it all into a larger container to let it begin to cool, then decant into individual jars when warm rather than boiling.
Fill the jars to the top to create a good seal with the lid. Let them cool in the fridge & they’ll set into a spreadable jam!
