Cranberry Orange Chia Seed Jam

Cranberry Orange Chia Seed Jam

Yields: 8 ounces  Total Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

10 ounces fresh cranberries

1/4 cup pure maple syrup

3 tablespoons fresh squeezed orange or tangerine juice

3 tablespoons water

2 tablespoons chia seeds

In a medium saucepan, add all ingredients except chia seeds. Cook over medium to low heat, stirring occasionally until the cranberries begin to break, about 7-8 minutes. Turn the heat off and with a potato masher or the back of a fork smash the cranberries down so that all have broken.

Set pan aside to cool.  When mixture has cooled, stir in chia seeds and combine. Transfer mixture to an 8 ounce mason jar. Store in refrigerator for up to 1 week.  Great on toast, with cheese and crackers, or as a sandwich spread!
