Ingredients
- 2 Cups Fresh or Frozen Cranberries
- 1/3 Cup Maple Syrup
- 1/3 Cup Granulated Sugar
- 1 Tbsp Freshly-Squeezed Lemon Juice
- 3 Tbsp Chia Seeds
Instructions
- Add all of the ingredients except the chia seeds to a medium saucepot, and bring to medium-low heat, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
- Once the mixture is simmering, reduce heat to low and continue to simmer for 12-14 minutes.
- Then, remove the mixture from heat and mix in the chia seeds. Cover the saucepot, and let the jam rest for 15-20 minutes, or until the chia seeds have become jelly-like.
- Transfer the jam to a jar and let it cool completely.
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- If your chia jam seizes up or becomes too firm, soften it with freshly-squeezed orange juice, adding about 1 tbsp at a time, and mixing completely between each further addition of juice.
- If your chia jam is too loose, add 1-2 tsp more chia seeds.
- This jam will last for about a week in the refrigerator.
