Summer’s coming to a close and for me that means it’s time to think about making jam! Fortunately, our family’s favourite chia seed jam recipes can be made all year around, and this Healthy Chia Seed Peach Jam is one of our favourites to make during peach season. It’s sweet and delicious, and it’s made with no refined sugar!

I’ve shared so many of my favourite homemade jam recipes with you before, like this Easy Chia Seed Blueberry Jam, this Easy Chia Seed Raspberry Jam, and this Easy Chia Seed Strawberry Jam. This Healthy Chia Seed Peach Jam is just another one of our favourite jam recipes that’s just as easy to make as the others!

How to make jam without sugar

When making chia seed jam without refined sugar it’s important to remember that different fruits have different amounts of naturally occurring pectin and their water content is often different. This means you have to be a little bit careful when you’re looking for a specific result, like a jam-like texture for example. I should also mention that you can use fresh or frozen peaches for this recipe, although I would always recommend fresh because it creates a better texture. If you do opt for frozen, be sure to cook off the jam a little longer than the recipe calls for just to make sure all the extra water evaporates and the end result is the right texture.

US CustomaryMetric

Recipe: Instructions 

• In a medium saucepan add the chopped peaches and the honey and place on the stove over medium heat.
• As the peaches begin to soften slightly over the heat, stir them around in their juices and the honey.
• Once the peaches have softened to the point that they're starting to fall apart, add the chia seeds and stir them in well. The chia seeds will help the jam achieve a gelatinous texture while also adding fibre, protein and healthy Omega-3 fats.
• Let the mixture come to a slow boil, stirring almost continually. Use a potato masher or fork to break up the fruit. if necessary.
• Continue stirring the mixture over low heat for about 10-15 minutes, or until a gelatinous texture is reached, and then remove the pan from the stove.
• Pour the jam into a large mason jar and allow it to cool, covered, at room temperature for half an hour before placing it in the fridge to cool completely (for 2 hours, or overnight).
• Enjoy on toast, gluten-free crackers or scones, over yogurt or even ice cream.
