- 1/3 cup date paste (adjust as desired)
- 1 tbsp water (optional, for easier stirring)
- 1 tsp fresh lemon juice (optional)

Instructions
- Make the date paste according to my pinned recipe.
- In a medium-sized saucepan, mix the blueberries, date paste and water.

- Stir in the lemon juice.
- Remove the jam from the heat and let cool.
- For a thicker jam, add chia seeds.
- Transfer to sterilized jars and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
Storage:
Keep the jam in a sterilized, airtight jar in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. For longer storage, freeze in small containers and thaw as needed.
