How to Make Cranberry Date Spread

  1. Combine 1 cup cranberries, 1 cup pitted dates, 1/2 cup orange juice, 1/4 cup water, and 1/4 cup brown sugar in a medium saucepan.
  2. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, for 8-10 minutes, or until the cranberries have burst and the mixture has thickened slightly.
  3. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  4. Carefully transfer the mixture to a food processor. Process until completely smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.
  5. Ladle the smooth cranberry date spread into sterilized jars, leaving about 1/2 inch of headspace.
  6. Wipe the rims of the jars clean, then seal with lids and rings. Process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (for longer shelf life) or let cool completely at room temperature for shorter term storage.
  7. Once cooled completely, store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
