Ingredients
INGREDIENTS
- 1 pound fresh rhubarb, leafy ends removed, stalks chopped across into ¼-inch slices
- 3 tablespoons honey, maple syrup or agave nectar
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice or orange juice
Directions
INSTRUCTIONS
- Combine chopped rhubarb and sweetener in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring often, until the rhubarb is mostly submerged in liquid. Reduce heat to medium-low and stir in the chia seeds. Continue cooking, while stirring frequently and reducing heat as necessary to prevent scorching, for 25 to 30 minutes, until there are no big chunks of rhubarb left and the jam drips slowly off your spoon.
- Remove the pan from heat and stir in the lemon or orange juice. Let the mixture cool, then cover and refrigerate. The jam should keep for a week or two in the refrigerator.
