The gelling effect of the chia seeds in Skinny B makes it a perfect alternative to using sugar and pectin in jam. And no cooking required! Skinny B’s neutral flavour lets the fruit shine. I don’t usually use any sweetener in this jam, as I’ve noticed the less processed sugar I eat, the sweeter fruit tastes, but you might want to add a little of your preferred sweetener if your fruit is especially tart.

During the summer months, Skinny B Jam is a great way to enjoy the abundance of local raspberries, strawberries, and blackberries. In winter, this recipe works just as well with frozen fruit (that’s been thawed). A squeeze of lime or lemon brightens the flavour. I’ve been known to add a teaspoon of finely minced jalapeño pepper, basil or mint when the ingredients and mood present themselves. I spread Skinny B Jam lavishly on pancakes and sometimes I add a teaspoon on top of Two-Ingredient cookies before baking.Enjoy ~ Corin Serves: Makes 8 servings (2 Tbsp/30 mL each) Ingredients 1 cup (250 mL) fresh or frozen berries (thawed) 1 Tbsp (15 mL/14 g) Skinny B (grind first if you prefer a smoother texture) 1 tsp (5 mL) freshly squeezed lemon or lime juice Directions In a small bowl (a 2-cup glass measuring cup works perfectly), mash berries with a fork, stir in the SkinnyB cereal and let sit for 5 minutes.
