Chia Seed Jam

I had PB&J every day as a child. As an adult, I quit because I never found healthy jam or nut butter. This jam is so easy and so good. Chia seeds give fiber and omega 3s. The nut butter I love is Kirkland Mixed Nut Butter is amazing. Since I discovered sourdough bread, I am as happy as a child eating PB&J again.
