Instructions
- In a small sauce pan over medium-high heat, cook cherries, smashing with a wooden spoon (or a potato masher) until cherries are mashed and the mixture is bubbling.
- Stir in the chia seeds, granulated sugar and lemon juice until well combined. Cook for 1 minute, then remove from heat and stir in almond extract, if desired.
- Let jam cool for 10 minutes and then stir one more time. As the jam cools, it will continue to thicken.
- Serve jam immediately, or transfer to a sealed container and refrigerate for up to 1 week, or freeze for up to 3 months.
