Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups ripe peaches, peeled and diced
  • 3 tablespoons honey (optional, for sweetness)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • ΒΌ cup chia seeds

Method
 

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the diced peaches, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and almond extract. Cook on medium heat, stirring occasionally until the peaches start to soften.
  2. If desired, add honey to sweeten the jam according to taste.
  3. Use a potato masher or immersion blender to puree the peach mixture until you reach your desired consistency.
  4. Stir in the chia seeds and continue cooking over low heat for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly. The chia seeds will help the jam thicken.
  5. Once thickened, remove from heat and allow to cool at room temperature for about 15 minutes before transferring to a jar.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the jam to set. Enjoy on toast, yogurt, or as a dessert topping!
