Cranberry Chia Jam

All natural ingredients-no sugar or pectin. SUPER simple,  4 ingredients and only takes 10 minutes. This recipe is not as sweet as a typical jam, which is what I prefer. If you want it sweeter, just add more Honey or other natural sweetener such as maple syrup to taste. 
Servings 2 8oz Jars

Ingredients

  • 12 oz fresh cranberries
  • 1/3 Cup Honey Raw Local Honey if you have it
  • Juice of 1 orange
  • 3 tbsp water
  • 1 tsp orange zest
  • 2 tbsp chia seeds

Instructions

  • In a medium sauce pan add all the ingredients except the chia seed. 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 brake some of the cranberries that haven't split leaving a few untouched if you want a chunkier texture.
  • Set the pan aside to cool. When the mixture has cooled add the chia seeds and combine. Transfer the mixture to a 8 oz mason jar. Store in the refrigerator.
