Spiced Cranberry Orange Jam
The sweet tart flavor of cranberries and oranges pair with the sweetness of sugar and the earthy warmth of cinnamon to make this gorgeous Christmas jam recipe.
Servings: 12 ounces
Equipment
Ingredients
- ½ Cup orange juice fresh juice of 2 navel oranges
- 10 Ounces cranberries frozen
- ½ Cup white sugar
- 1 Teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, add the frozen cranberries, orange juice, sugar and cinnamon.
- Over medium heat, cook the cranberries stirring often for 14 minutes or until jammy. For the last minute of cook time, turn the heat to low and stir the mix thoroughly to make sure all of the berries are broken down - the cranberries will not begin to break down for about 10 minutes, so use the back of a spatula to smash the cranberries after this to help the process.
- Remove from the heat and let cool for 5 minutes.
- Transfer the jam into 3 clean jars and secure the lids. Wait until the jam has cooled to room temperature and transfer to the fridge if enjoying immediately or in the freezer if storing.
Notes
Breaking down the berries: The cranberries will take about 10 minutes to start breaking down. When they do, use a rubber spatula or wooden spoon to squish them against the side of the saucepan to aid the process.
Use the right jars: Glass jars with tight-fitting lids are best.
Keep it chilled: As it's homemade, it's best to keep the jam refrigerated or frozen until use.
