Notes
This jam stays good for up to a month in the refrigerator when stored in a clean airtight container. Always handle with a fresh and dry spoon.
You can also freeze the jam in freezer-safe containers for up to a year. Use well-ripened pineapple for this Pineapple Chia Jam. Lemon Juice is not just for the flavour. The pH level plays a role in helping the jam set without pectin. So, don't skip it. I like my jam with some texture, but if you like to have a smooth consistency, you can blend the mixture until smooth. Always store the jam in a moisture-free airtight container. Cook until you reach the right consistency. You can use honey or sugar in place of maple syrup. Adjust the quantity according to the sweetness of the fruit. Use any other fruit in place of pineapple.
