Angelcot® Chia Basil Jam

Cooking Steps

1. 1

   Place Angelcots^®, sugar, and lemon juice into a large saucepan or pot over low heat.

2. 2

   Slowly bring to a slow boil for 5-6 minutes and then let simmer for 20-25 minutes in total, stirring regularly. Every 4-5 minutes, mash the fruit with a masher (cutter or blender) to break it up. Watch carefully so the sugar doesn't burn. Scoop out any foam that forms. This should thicken as it simmers.

3. 3

   Cool on the stove for a few minutes, then pout into mason jars. Allow it to cool completely.

4. 4

   Add chia seeds and give jam very good stir until seeds are evenly distributed.

5. 5

   Add basil, then stir again until evenly distributed.

6. 6

   Serve on toasted bread (we suggest cinnamon bread) and garnish with freshly cut basil ribbons.

7. 7

   Sprinkle sea salt as desired.

8. 8

   Store in refrigerator for up to seven days.
