Ingredients

1 cup frozen blueberries
3 cups frozen strawberries 16 ounce bag
2 tbsp pure maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla extract
zest of one lemon

Add the frozen berries to a small saucepan. Turn the heat on to medium high.

Add the maple syrup and vanilla extract to the saucepan and stir to combine.
Cook the mixture over medium to medium high heat for about 20-30 minutes, or until the berries are cooked down and broken down.

If the jam is watery, do not worry; the chia seeds will fix that.
