Ingredients
3 cups fresh cranberries (washed)
2 cups chopped strawberries (fresh or frozen)
1 medium apple, peeled and grated
3 cups sugar
½ cup orange juice
1 tablespoon orange zest
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
1 pouch (3 oz) liquid pectin (or according to package directions)
Instructions
In a large saucepan, combine cranberries, strawberries, apple, sugar, orange juice, orange zest, cinnamon and cloves.
Bring mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the fruit softens (about 10 minutes).
Reduce heat and simmer until the cranberries pop and mixture thickens slightly.
Stir in the liquid pectin; return to a full rolling boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
Remove from heat. Skim off any foam from the top.
Carefully ladle hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving ¼ inch headspace.
Wipe rims clean, seal with lids, and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (if you plan to store it).
Let cool completely. Label and store in a cool, dark place or refrigerate for up to 3 weeks.
This jam is sweet, tangy, and perfect for holiday gifting or spreading on toast.
