Description
A delicious jam made with fresh cranberries and strawberries, perfect for spreading on toast or using in desserts.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups fresh cranberries (or thawed frozen, drained)
- 2 cups chopped fresh strawberries (or thawed frozen, drained)
- 2 medium apples (peeled, cored and finely diced)
- 1 medium orange (zested and juiced, you’ll need about 1/4 cup juice)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
- 4 cups granulated sugar
- 1 pouch Certo liquid pectin (3 ounces)
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Wash jars, lids and bands. Keep jars hot in simmering water until ready to fill.
- In a large saucepan, stir together the cranberries, strawberries, apples and orange juice (save orange zest for adding at the end).
- Stir in the cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and sugar. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat.
- Simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries pop.
- Remove the pot from the heat and immediately stir in the Certo liquid pectin, orange zest and vanilla.
- Place back on the heat and stir constantly for 1 minute. Then remove from heat.
- Ladle hot jam into hot jars, leaving ¼-inch headspace. Wipe rims clean, screw on lids and bands until fingertip-tight.
- Process jars in a water-bath canner for 10 minutes (adjust for altitude as needed).
- Remove and let cool undisturbed for 12–24 hours. Check seals before storing.
Notes
- Adjust processing time for altitude.
- This jam is great on toast, in desserts, or as a filling.
