Peach Basil Jam (V/GF)

Jam is definitely one of my top favorite things to make (and eat). Throwing it in sweets, on top of burgers and straight into my mouth, jam makes everything better!

This Peach Basil Jam is the best of the best. It’s sweet, juicy and has a refreshing herbal note from the fresh basil.

It comes together in 15 minutes or less and it only takes FIVE ingredients!

It contains no pectin or cane sugar. Instead, it’s made with wholesome ingredients like fresh peaches, fresh basil, lemon juice, pure maple syrup and chia seeds.

Oh yeah, have I mention how amazingly delicious this jam is with avocado?! I often scoop this jam into the holes of an avocado and dig in with a spoon. Makes a killer quick breakfast or snack!
