1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon water
¼ teaspoon sea salt

Filling:
2 cups frozen raspberries
1 tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsp raw honey* or maple syrup
pinch of lemon zest
1 tbsp chia seeds

Crumb topping:
1 cup walnuts or almonds
1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
2 tbsp coconut sugar

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Begin by making your filling, this has a jam consistency. In a medium saucepan, combine raspberries, honey, lemon juice and lemon zest. Heat to a medium to medium high heat, until mixture begins to bubble. Let bubble for 1-2 minutes, then lower heat to a simmer. While simmering, be sure to mash the berries with a wooden spoon. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, remove from heat. Add in chia seeds. Let cool for 5-10 minutes before transferring to a glass jar or dish, and place in the fridge to cool completely. This will take about 1 hour, but you can also make the filling and let sit overnight.
