1 1/2 cup organic frozen blueberries
1 cup organic frozen cranberries
1/4 cup chopped frozen mango
3 Tbs pure maple syrup (add more after tasting if desired)
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 Tbs chia seed
Place blueberries, cranberries and mango into a medium pot on the stove over medium/medium-low heat. Add the maple syrup and bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally until the berries are soft and begin to pop.
Remove from heat and mash the berries. Add vanilla extract and stir. Taste for sweetness and add more syrup if desired.
Add the chia seed and stir to combine. Allow jam to set, then place in a jar and cover. Store in the refrigerator. Use within a week or so.
Liv Life Note: Cranberries are notoriously tart - add additional sweetener as desired!
