Raw Raspberry Jam (No Sugar, no Pectin, no Cooking)

My girl loves fruit but berries were always her least favourite, so I've been thinking of different ways of adding berries to her meals. An easy way was to use jam but this was not ideal because not only had the fruit have to be boiled (thus losing nutrients) but I'd also need sugar or to add pectin. Then, I was mind-blown by this No Pectin Refrigerator Jam which uses chia seeds to set the jam! I couldn't have been happier. Izzie loved it too!

It has some crunch due to the raspberry seeds and the chia seeds. I'm thinking of sieving the raspberries and grinding the chia seeds just to see how it turns out. After all, I don't want Izzie to become one of those people who only like seedless jams.
