Chia Seed Fruit Preserves

 

1½ cups fresh blackberries

½ cup water

2 tablespoons honey

1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

⅛ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

2 tablespoons chia seeds

 

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the berries, water, honey, lemon juice, and pumpkin pie spice. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Stir in the chia seeds, stirring constantly to prevent them from clumping together. Reduce the heat to low and simmer the mixture for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Let cool, then transfer to a 1-pint wide-mouth Mason jar with a tight-fitting lid.
