Everyone should have an easy, no-bake, go-to dessert recipe. This one is mine. Endlessly customizable, depending on the seasonal fruit available, I particularly love how this autumnal take combines tart cranberries with earthy pecans and herbal rosemary.

Chia jam is a versatile condiment that takes advantage of chia seed’s ability to absorb up to 12 times their weight in liquid and thicken a juicy mixture of fruit without the addition of tons of extra sugar. Try making other flavors of chia jam by swapping out cranberries for other fresh or frozen berries. Simply use the same measurements and method as for the cranberry chia filling above.
