Instructions:

Chia Seed Pudding:

1. In a bowl, mix chia seeds, almond milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
2. Stir well to ensure the chia seeds are evenly distributed.
3. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight, allowing the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and create a pudding-like consistency.
4. Stir the pudding before serving to eliminate any clumps.

Persimmon Jam:

1. In a saucepan, combine diced persimmons and honey or maple syrup over medium heat.
2. Stir occasionally and let it simmer for 8-10 minutes or until the persimmons become soft and start to break down.
3. Mash the persimmons with a fork or potato masher to achieve a jam-like consistency.
4. Remove from heat and stir in chia seeds.
5. Allow the jam to cool and thicken for about 15 minutes.

Assembling:

1. Spoon a layer of chia seed pudding into containers.
2. Add a dollop of persimmon jam on top of the pudding.
3. Sprinkle a generous amount of pomegranate seeds over the jam, option to add fresh persimmon and granola.
