“When life gives you mulberries, make jam.”
Our tree is still bursting with big juicy mulberries, from muffins to jam I will be taking full advantage of these gorgeous berries!
This jam is vegan and refined sugar-free so is a great healthy alternative to regular jam and what’s better than homemade?
It’s great to spread onto toast + PB & J sarmies or to dollop onto a warm bowl of oats.
Enjoy!

- 2 tbsp chia seeds

1 tbsp raw unfiltered ACV (apple cider vinegar) can be substituted for the lemon juice.
