Hi Rachel. This is a nice recipe. Thank you for sharing it. I have not made chia jam using zucchini before so I will definitely give this a try.
Such an interesting direction this has been. I’m keto and I’m thinking monk fruit sweetener and ground chia may be the ticket. I have elderberry that my son bought me at a farmers market this week. I’ll let you know how it goes 😉
I have been using jelly for the Orioles too. I fill my feeder almost every day and this year, have 2 different types of them. They have eaten any jelly or jam I put out. Last fall a friend cleaned out her pantry and I got all the jam and jelly that was older.
Hi why not try Marrow and Ginger jam for a change. There are various recipes on You Tube. You can let your zuccinis grow to Marrows and try making a small batch. It's really nice tasting and makes a change from the commonplace raspberry and strawberry jams most people stick with making.
Rachel Thinking out of the box is fantastic ,look what you created.
I absolutely love this!
I live with a Type 1 Diabetic and the no sugar challenge has been happening for decades. It has to be so they can eat it. As Mom would say, you can eat sugar and not get sick, your sister cannot. Fifty-five years ago, Mom was canning with un-sweetened pineapple juice and purchasing canned fruit only in unsweetened juice. Because of that, the heavy syrup stuff tastes horrible to me. Sorry, tangent, off I was.
You are the reason I buy Pomona's Pectin. I made some strawberry freezer jam and it's great! Peach/nectarine cinnamon freezer jam is to die for. No sugar.
Following….as always.
I can’t wait to try this for me and my daughter as we have to limit our sugar intake. Thank you!!
I finally did it. After 18 months of watching your videos, after canning copious amounts of jams, I finally pressure canned for the first time today. Honestly, I thought the canner was going to explode and I hid outside the kitchen window watching every jiggle of the weight just in case 🤣 But, nothing exploded, nobody died. I made it. All because of you 😊
Would you be able to post the written recipe? It would really help a lot. Thank you!
?what about pressure canning it? say 5 lbs of pressure for ? minutes? also wondered about your delicious balsamic onion jam… maybe extend with zucchini as well, then maybe pressure can instead?
I wonder if you could grind the Chia seed
I can't eat a lot of sugar anymore either. This looks interesting and I have all the ingredients so I'll give it a try.
I am going to try this- do you think it would work with things like Tomato-Chili Jam please. Cheers Denise
Looks delicious. I might even give zucchini jam a try. Still heaps in my freezer
That looks absolutely amazing Rachel. I just loved your zucchini bread jam, and I know this would be so good also. Thanks for sharing! Everyone I shared your zucchini bread jam with loved it.
Great experiment!
Wow, I love how you use your zucchini’s and mix with different fruits.
How do you think you will use the jam? On breads/pancakes or more possibly in oatmeal???
A great idea! For diabetics, I would use erythritol because stevia does have a strong taste. I would also cook chia seeds together with fruit, and then blend them together. I don't know whether chia seeds could be ground in coffee grinder, to make a sort of powder?!? I used to freeze all my jams in small batches in plain freezer bags, then just squeeze them out in a jar, and keep it in the fridge, we always used it in a couple days.
Oh my goodness Rachel! This looks so good. I am diabetic and I can't wait to try this and put some on my steel cut oats or to top my yogurt. Thank you for sharing!!! Wonder if peaches would work in this? Peaches and blueberries are great together.
I make my zucchini jam with jello and pineapple delicious.
I actually put some chia seeds in my blender and made chia powder today. I saw a recipe that made pudding with the chia powder and it's claims to make a smoother, less tapioca texture. Wonder if that would work for jam. I did notice that the powder immediately began to thicken my milk. I am totally gonna try making jam.
Is that High or Low sugar for Todd ?
This is intriguing! Great recipe Rachel
Is Todd a diabetic? If so please do some research, there are studies that show it’s the fat that causes insulin resistance. Mastering Diabetes is a good place to start. I’ve been type 2 and six months ago I was able to stop my medication. I’ve never been one for sweets but I eat fruit several times a day
Todd is a happy camper!!!
Hypo or hyperglycemia, or both?
I'm wondering if I used the zucchini and different berries like strawberries, boysenberries, raspberries, and other berries with this recipe if I would have great success like you did with the blueberries? I'm going to give this recipe a try. Thanks for the video and the recipe too.
I use monkfruit sweener, no after taste. Remember to diabetics and people who are hypoglycemic honey is just as bad as sugar and maple sugar. I was so bummed when I found out I couldn't have honey anymore.
In your traditional jams you have lots of sugar which helps preserve jams so it is safe to water bath. With all the vegetable added with very little honey, I definitely would feel it might be safer to pressure can to be on the safe side. I tend to not always follow the techniques endorsed by our lovely government but because of the large amount of zucchini, I would err on the safe side. I enjoy your videos and as you say, that is a choice we will have to make for ourselves. For newbie canners, I just wanted them to be aware. Again thanks for all the time you put into your content for all of us viewers.
I would never make this, but I’m wondering about the ph of the chia seed. Is that an issue?
Hi Rachel, ♥️♥️
Thank you so much for the Jam recipe, my hubby and are are diabetics so thus sounds really good!!

I think I am going to try it in small batches. Thanks for sharing.
More zucchini recipes! Yay! Awesome recipe! I like to substitute monk fruit sweetener.
Please post on Rumble, Odysee (LBRY), or BitChute! I love your content, but Youtube… not so much.
Sounds good, I love blueberries.
Hi Rachel. WOW, zucchini and blueberries to make jam is healthy. I am glad you did not put too much honey in it. People with diabetes have a hard time with sugar. I am diabetic as well. I have to be careful what I eat. And I will turn 61in August. My sugar is not high, it is low. I found out about my diabetes years ago, and paid it no mind. Until, my doctor told me about it again. I am doing well. God Bless you and Todd. Thank you Rachel for sharing the video. Take care. Maria.💁🖐️💁🖐️💁🖐️😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😎😎😎😎😎👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷❤❤❤❤💙💙💙💙
Might make a good smoothie base
What a rough life Todd lives being your taste tester 😂
I love how education based your videos are, even when you're trying something new!
Glad to see our Rachel back you seemed not yourself in the last couple of videos. Always love your cooking videos
You never explain how you come up with these recipes. That looks wonderful by the way. Thanks for sharing with us.
I am going to try to bloom the chia seeds before adding them in.
Cinnamon May help with the tartness! I made a fridge version with flax seed zucchini and pears, Super tasty,,
Wow. Who new. That looks delicious..
It looks amazing and the color is beautiful
no onion or zucchini bread jam this year? I loved those recipes last year!!
That would be yummy in oatmeal.
Do you ever use Swerve or one of those keto-friendly sweeteners?
Great video! Thanks
Wow, looks delicious…but also..Yikes was that a spider on Todd’s shirt at 11:28 😨. I have really had to get used to spiders, but I am still so freaked out by them!! 😅
