How to Make Cranberry Jam

  1. Measure and wash 4 cups fresh cranberries.
  2. Puree the cranberries using a food grinder or blender until smooth.
  3. Place the cranberry puree and 1/2 cup water in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Add 2 cups crushed pineapple (from a 20-ounce can, including the juice), 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar, and 1/4 cup lemon juice. Stir to combine. Bring to a rolling boil for exactly 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in 1 package (1.75 ounces) liquid pectin. Whisk vigorously for 1 minute.
  6. Let the mixture stand undisturbed for 25 minutes. Skim off any foam that rises to the surface.
  7. Ladle the hot jam into sterilized half-pint jars, leaving 1/4-inch headspace. Wipe the rims clean, and seal with lids and rings. Process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (adjust processing time based on your altitude).
