How to Make Cranberry Citrus Marmalade
- Combine cranberries, orange zest, lemon zest, orange juice, lemon juice, water, cinnamon (if using), and ginger (if using) in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes, gently mashing the cranberries with a potato masher or the back of a spoon to release their juices.
- Stir in the sugar and continue to simmer for 45-50 minutes, or until the marmalade reaches setting point (a small amount placed on a chilled plate wrinkles when pushed with a finger).
- Remove from heat and skim off any foam that has formed on the surface.
- Ladle the hot marmalade into sterilized jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace.
- Wipe the rims of the jars clean, seal with lids and rings, and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (adjust processing time based on your altitude).
- Remove jars from the water bath and let them cool completely. You should hear a satisfying ‘pop’ as the jars seal.
- Once completely cool, check seals. Store in a cool, dark place for up to one year. Enjoy!
