How to Make Quick Cranberry Orange Jam

  1. Combine 1 cup cranberry sauce and 1/2 cup orange marmalade in a medium, microwave-safe bowl.
  2. Cover the bowl and microwave on medium-high for 6 minutes, or until the marmalade is melted and the cranberries are tender. Stir every 2 minutes to prevent scorching.
  3. Carefully remove the bowl from the microwave (it will be hot!). Let the jam cool slightly before spooning it into sterilized, heat-resistant jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace.
  4. Cover the jars with lids and let them cool completely to room temperature. You should hear a satisfying 'pop' as the jars seal.
  5. Once completely cool, store the jam in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks. Enjoy on toast, crackers, or as a topping for yogurt and ice cream!
