Fruit Jam

1 cup prepared fresh fruit. This could be fresh berries, from blackberries to blueberries to raspberries. Or chopped stone-fruit, like peaches, plums, or apricots.

4-ish teaspoons chia seeds. Emphasis on the ish. This all depends on how juicy your fruit is and how thick you like your jam. Start with 4. Refrigerate for 30 or so minutes and see how things are going. If you want it looser, add more fruit. Thicker, add more seeds.

1 tablespoon syrupy sweetener. I like honey or maple syrup best. Sorghum or agave syrup would be lovely, too. Add or subtract to taste.

2 teaspoons citrus juice. Especially lemon, but also lime or even grapefruit. Vinegar works here, too. Maybe apple cider vinegar to keep the fruitiness going or balsamic, especially if the jam is strawberry-y.

1 pinch salt. Salt in jam?! Sure thing. Salt everywhere. It will make the fruit taste fruitier.
