Cooking with Wholesome Child – CHAI RASPBERRY JAM

Welcome to part three of a four part series with “Wholesome Child: A Complete Nutrition Guide and Cookbook,” where so far I have been lucky to share with you two delicious recipes from Mandy Sacher’s book.  Cashew and Cauliflower Mayonnaise, and Chocolate Zucchini Muffins.  Mandy is extremely passionate about children’s health and wellbeing, and has dedicated her life to the study of childhood nutrition, sharing her wisdom and experience with busy parents and caretakers through her private practice in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs.  This third recipe is a Chia Raspberry Jam.
