How to Make Spiced Cranberry Jam
- Combine 4 cups fresh or frozen cranberries, 1/2 cup water, and 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until cranberries have softened and burst.
- Carefully pour the cranberry mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or food mill to remove skins and seeds. You should have approximately 3 cups of cranberry puree.
- Return the cranberry puree to the saucepan. Stir in 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves, 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice, 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger, and 3 cups granulated sugar.
- Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly. Once boiling, continue to boil hard for 1 minute, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
- Remove from heat and skim off any foam that has formed on the surface.
- 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 altitude; consult a canning guide for specific instructions).
- Let the jars cool completely. You should hear a ‘pop’ sound as the jars seal. Check to ensure all jars are sealed before storing in a cool, dark place.
