Ingredients
  

3 ripe pears, peeled and diced

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (adjust based on sweetness preference)

2 tablespoons lemon juice

1/4 cup chia seeds

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

A pinch of salt

Instructions
 

In a medium saucepan, combine the diced pears, grated ginger, honey (or maple syrup), lemon juice, and a pinch of salt.

    Cook over medium heat for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pears soften and begin to break down. You can use a fork or potato masher to help mash the pears to your desired consistency.

      Once the mixture is softened, remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the chia seeds and cinnamon, if using.

        Let the mixture cool for about 15 minutes, during which time the chia seeds will absorb the liquid and thicken the jam.

          Transfer the jam to a clean jar or container, seal it tightly, and let it cool to room temperature before refrigerating.

            The jam will continue to thicken as it cools. It can be enjoyed after refrigerating for at least 1-2 hours but is best when left overnight to allow the flavors to meld.
