RASPBERRY CHIA JAM



Imagine sitting on a tropical patio or porch and enjoying this lovely Raspberry Chia jam with crusty bread and almond butter. Add some scrambled eggs to round everything out.  Don't fret - the recipe is deceptively simple and calls for only a bit of raw honey for sweetener.  I tried this with blueberries since I didn't have any raspberries.  No lemon juice, so I used lime juice instead - tasted great!   The recipe and beautiful photos are courtesy of Sarah Yates -  A House in the Hills
