Cook and stir occasionally: Cook the fruit over medium heat for about 10 to 12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the fruit breaks down. The fruit should look like a syrupy, runny sauce.

Add the chia seeds, then let sit: Remove the saucepan from heat. Mix in the chia seeds and let the jam sit for 10 minutes to thicken. Taste and add additional sugar or lemon juice to taste. - 4
