The inspiration for this recipe came to me one morning when I was looking for a quick and easy breakfast. I had some raspberries in the fridge, and I wanted to make a jam, but I didn't have any pectin. I remembered that chia seeds can be used as a thickener, so I decided to give it a try. I was so happy with the results! The jam was thick and flavorful, and it was the perfect topping for my almond butter toast. I've been making this recipe ever since, and it's become a favorite of mine and my family.
