THIS IS THE BEST LOW SUGAR, ALKALINE BLUEBERRY CHIA JAM RECIPE
The late Dr. Sebi brought to light the importance of eating a plant-based alkaline diet for the most optimal health. He also praised Sea Moss for its incredible nutrient profile and tremendous benefits for the body. Sea Moss Gel is essentially blended sea moss with water (sometimes with added bladderwrack or burrock root). Consuming sea moss helps your body in numerous ways from reducing mucus in the body, to improve digestive health, and SO much more!

Ingredients You’ll Need To Make This Alkaline Blueberry Jam:
- Blueberries: An incredible superfood and powerful fruit that serves as the base for the jam. They are considered the “King of Antioxidant Foods”, with the highest level of antioxidants amongst most fruits and vegetables. It is also high in fiber, vitamin K, and vitamin C. You can use fresh or frozen. If you use frozen, let the blueberries thaw before using them.
- Chia Seeds: A protein-rich seed that becomes soft as it absorbs liquid and helps create the perfect consistency for the jam. Chia Seeds are high in omega-3 fatty acids, protein, calcium, and zinc.
- Sea Moss: My FAVORITE superfood! Sea Moss Gel is gelatinous and can be used as a thickening agent in foods. When mixed in the jam you cannot taste the jam at all —like seriously!— but it helps to also create the perfect consistency while supplying its incredible nutrients. Sea Moss has 92 of the 102 minerals our bodies need.
- Maple Syrup: Unlike most store-bought jams, this homemade jam is lightly sweetened with maple syrup. It’s refined sugar-free and has just the right amount of sweetness. You can also use agave nectar instead. (Use Agave syrup to keep this recipe alkaline)
- Lemons: The lemon gives the jam a bit of zest and also helps to preserve the jam. You’ll need the juice of a lemon and the zest. It is easiest to prepare the lemon zest first, then juice the lemon.
How To Make This Blueberry Chia Jam:
- In a saucepan over low heat, add blueberries, maple syrup, lemon zest, and lemon juice, and bring to a low boil, about 5 minutes. Make sure to stir occasionally and the blueberries will begin to burst. Use a wooden spoon to mash about half of the blueberries and release the juices.
- Turn the heat up a bit to medium-high heat and allow the mixture to boil for about 10 minutes, or until the liquid is reduced by half. Make sure to stir occasionally.
- Reduce the heat to low and add the chia seeds. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently. The jams should begin to thicken.
- Turn off the heat and stir in sea moss. Allow the jam to cool for at least 10 minutes and then transfer the jam into a mason jar. Use as you normally would use jam — on toast, pancakes, waffles, sandwiches, etc.
- Allow the jam to cool completely before transferring to the fridge. Once cool, close the lid on the jam tightly and store it in the refrigerator. The jam will last in the fridge for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 2 months. Do not store this jam at room temperature.
