Ingredients
- 30-40 g pitted dates, finely diced (or 1-2 tsp maple syrup)

Instructions
Gently heat the dates in a small pan with 2 tbsp water for about 2 minutes, stirring to form a smooth paste. Add the raspberries and chia seeds and simmer for 2-3 minutes. Mash the raspberries with a potato masher or the back of a spoon. The jam can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
