Ingredients

2 ½ cups - fresh or frozen fruit
2 tablespoons - pure maple syrup
1 tbsp - fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons - chia seeds

Instructions

Place the fruit, maple syrup and lemon juice in a medium sauce pan and cook over medium heat, stirring often. Cook until the fruit has broken down and the liquid has thickened, about 5 minutes (this will take 1-2 minutes longer if your fruit is frozen).
Stir in the chia seeds and cook an addition 2-3 minutes or until thickened. Taste and add more sweetener if desired and pour into jars. Allow to cool at room temperature, then cover with a lid and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
