Ingredients:
- 2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries
- 1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup (or to taste)
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground ginger
- 1/4 tsp ground cloves
- Zest of 1 orange
- 1 tbsp fresh orange juice
- 1 tbsp chia seeds (for thickening)
Instructions:
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium saucepan, combine the cranberries, raspberries, maple syrup, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, orange zest, and orange juice. Stir well.
- Cook the Jam: Place the saucepan over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a simmer, cooking for about 10-15 minutes, or until the berries break down and the mixture thickens. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Add Chia Seeds: Once the jam has reached a thick, jam-like consistency, remove it from the heat and stir in the chia seeds. Let the jam sit for 5-10 minutes as the chia seeds absorb liquid and further thicken the jam.
- Cool and Store: Transfer the jam to a clean jar, let it cool, and store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
