Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Cranberry Spice Jam.
Step 1
To create a delightful homemade cranberry jam, start by gathering a large pot and adding fresh cranberries, white sugar, turbinado sugar, water, orange zest, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground cloves, ground allspice, and a sprinkle of ground black pepper.
Step 2
Place the pot on medium heat and gently bring the mixture to a simmer.
Step 3
As it heats up, stir it frequently to help the sugars dissolve and watch for the cranberries to start popping—this should take about 10 to 12 minutes.
Step 4
Once you hear that satisfying pop, grab an immersion blender and blend the jam to your preferred consistency, whether you like it smooth or a bit chunky.
Step 5
Next, pour the vibrant jam into a glass pint jar and let it cool at room temperature for about an hour, allowing it to thicken and set beautifully.
Step 6
Once it’s cooled down, seal the jar tightly and pop it in the refrigerator.
Step 7
Now you have a delicious cranberry jam ready to elevate your breakfast or dessert! Enjoy the sweet and tangy flavors that will remind you of cozy gatherings and festive celebrations.
