- Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the chia seeds, lemon juice, honey (start with a small amount and add more as needed, depending on how sweet the fruit is), and salt.
- Let sit for 10 minutes to allow the chia seeds to hydrate and thicken the jam.
- Then transfer to a resealable jar. The jam will keep in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
