A beautiful homemade jam is one of life's simple pleasures, especially when spread over a warm slice of fresh buttered bread.  Many people these days are eating more healthy and looking for “clean recipes” to prepare at home. As more information about sugar and its harmful effects are coming to light, there has been a push to reduce sugar consumption.
This sugar-free blueberry jam recipe has no added sugar and uses chia seeds for their gelling ability and thickening power instead of pectin. It's one of three sugar free jelly or jam recipes I have on the blog. My low carb sugar free raspberry jelly tastes just like fresh raspberries and the low carb sugar free strawberry jam resembles a freezer jam in taste. Both use gelatin to thicken them.
I love this sugar-free blueberry chi seed jam on toasted low carb bread and sometimes in a sandwich with homemade sunbutter (sugar free). Since my son is sensitive to strawberries, this is the jam we use when he is experiencing problems. I'm sure this recipe would work with gelatin like my other sugar-free jelly and jam recipes, but I like that this jam appeals to our vegan friends, too.
