Berry-Infused Chia Seed Delight with Honey & Maple Glaze
Ingredients
- 2 cups mixed berries (e.g., strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon agave nectar
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Instructions
1. Prep the Berries:
- Wash and gently pat dry the berries. If using larger berries like strawberries, slice them into smaller pieces.
2. Cook the Berry Mixture:
- In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the mixed berries, honey, maple syrup, agave nectar, and lemon juice.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat. Stir gently to coat the berries evenly with the sweet mixture.
3. Simmering Process:
- Let the mixture come to a gentle simmer. Occasionally stir for about 5 minutes, until the berries begin to release their juices and break down slightly.
4. Incorporate the Chia Seeds:
- Reduce the heat to low. Gently fold in the chia seeds. Continue cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently until the mixture thickens to a jam-like consistency.
5. Finish and Cool:
- Remove the saucepan from the heat. Allow the mixture to cool and set for about 5-10 minutes at room temperature. The chia seeds will continue to absorb the liquid and thicken further.
6. Serve:
- Transfer the berry chia delight to a serving dish. This dish can be enjoyed warm or chilled, as a snack or a topping for yogurt, oatmeal, or toast.
