Bring blueberries and maple syrup to a boil, stirring frequently.

Once boiling, reduce heat and simmer for about 5 minutes.

Gently mash blueberries while simmering. I like to use a wooden spoon.

After simmering for 5 minutes, stir in ground chia seeds, mixing thoroughly.

Continue cooking until thickened to your desired jam consistency. Approx 10 - 15 minutes.

Remove from heat and stir in vanilla.

Allow to cool 15 minutes and store in the refrigerator in a Mason or old jelly jar.

Will keep about a week.
