Tip
You can use frozen berries, but let them thaw first for best results. Feel free to use other berries for chia jam – strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, red currants, cranberries or fruits like diced mango or kiwi.
Most items like this are good in the fridge for up to a week and yes, they can be frozen.
I'm assuming not an electric blender or a stick blender as it would chop up the chia and raspberry seeds.
I used a spoon and mixed fairly vigorously for a while. it looks like the picture.
Could I have used a hand whisk or a hand egg beater? I'm probably just lost in translation on the other side of the world.
Yes, a stick blender, also known as a hand blender or immersion blender will work well as you want to break down the berries for a jam consistency.
