Berry Chia Jam (for Deconstructed Strawberry Cranberry Cheesecake for Breakfast)

In a small to medium sauce pan, add in a 7 oz. container of cranberries and a 12 oz. frozen bag of strawberries. Cover and set to a low heat so the strawberries can defrost and the cranberries can begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Uncover and stir and heat for an additional 3-5 minutes until the fruit begins to simmer. Take a slotted spoon or fork and begin smashing the berries. Sweeten to your liking with vanilla extract and stevia (you could also use honey/maple syrup/coconut sugar but you really don’t need much). Remove from heat and pour into a heat safe bowl and add in a 1/4 cup chia seeds. Stir to combine, cover and refrigerate for an hour or overnight. Serve with plain 0-2% Greek yogurt or cottage cheese, and flax seeds.
