Ingredients:
2 Cups of Plums (rinsed and cut away from the stone pit)
¼ Cup Organic Chia Seeds (I used Mamma Chia)
Honey (to taste)
Instructions:
1. Wash and cut the plums from their pits
2. Add to a small saucepan and cook on low (covered)
3. Stir every 5 minutes
4. Should be done after 15 minutes if the peaches are fresh picked, it will take a bit longer (30 minutes at the most) if you are using plums from the store
5. Taste to determine flavor of the batch of fruit. Add honey 1 TBSP at a time if you wish to sweeten.
6. Add ¼ cup of Organic Chia Seeds. Stir. Let it rest for 15 minutes or overnight.
HINT: I like to make this in the evening and let the chia seeds absorb the fruit/juice overnight.
HINT: When you taste the preserves you will know whether the skin of the fruit is tender enough to keep the fruit as is or whether you should blend before adding the chia seeds. Fresh picked fruit tends to have softer skin than fruit that is in commercial grocery stores.
Serving Suggestions:
• This can be eaten alone as a breakfast. For some crunch, sprinkle some granola on top.
• Use as a fruit preserve to make peanut butter + plum preserve sandwich.
• Use to flavor plain yogurt for breakfast or add to frozen yogurt/ice cream as a dessert.
• Use to top pancakes, waffles, french toast, and crepes.
