Cranberry Jam
Ingredients
Scale
- 12 ounces (about 4 cups) whole cranberries (fresh or frozen)
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup fresh orange juice
- Zest from one orange
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
Instructions
- Rinse the cranberries and carefully inspect them. Discard any cranberries that appear bruised or spoiled. Set the remaining cranberries aside.
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the cranberries, sugar, and fresh orange juice.
- Whisk continuously until the sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture comes to a gentle boil.
- Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. The cranberries will burst and the mixture will thicken to a jam-like consistency.
- Remove the pot from the heat. Stir in the orange zest, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- Carefully transfer the jam into a clean pint-sized mason jar. Allow it to cool to room temperature before sealing and storing.
- Store the sealed jar of cranberry jam in the refrigerator for up to one month or freeze for up to 3 months.
