Summer berries during the ripening period delight us with their abundance, and in order for them not to disappear from them, you can make jam or preserves. This cooking option does not require special skills and is not suitable for long-term storage, but nevertheless will allow you to store berries for several weeks. For berry jam, you can use various variations of berries and fruits. If you add chia seeds, they will absorb the liquid and you will get a thicker consistency more like jam.
