Notes:
- Typically, natural pectin or added powdered pectin, is the compound that thickens jams. However, fruits like apricots have natural pectin and chia seeds adds on more pectin.
- The chai seeds work similarly to added pectin by absorbing moisture to thicken watery mixture and is a rich source of omega 3 fatty acids.
