Notes
- Sweeteners (such as honey or maple syrup) can be added if the jam is too tart. It is not recommended to add a sweetener if making for a baby. Do not add honey if making for a baby.
- Try adding some vanilla, cinnamon, ginger, or cardamom for extra flavour
- If your child does not like the texture of the seeds you can puree the jam in a blender. There will still be some small flecks of seeds, but they will be much less obvious.
