How to Make Cranberry Apple Jam

  1. In a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat, dissolve 1 cup of granulated sugar in ½ cup of orange juice.
  2. Add 12 ounces fresh cranberries, 2 medium apples (peeled, cored, and chopped), 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon. Stir well to combine.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 15-20 minutes, or until the cranberries have burst and the jam has thickened slightly. A spoon drawn across the bottom of the pan should leave a clear trail.
  4. Remove from heat and let the jam cool slightly. Skim off any foam that forms on the surface.
  5. For long-term storage, carefully ladle the hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving ½ inch of headspace. Seal tightly and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (for pints) or 15 minutes (for quarts) to ensure proper preservation. Alternatively, store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
