A festive strawberry-cranberry jam spiced with cinnamon, perfect for holiday gifting or serving on breakfast boards.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups fresh or frozen cranberries
  • 4 cups chopped strawberries
  • 4 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 cup water

Instructions

  1. Combine cranberries, strawberries, sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and water in a large pot.
  2. Stir to combine.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly.

  5. Skim off any foam that rises to the surface.
  6. Test for set by placing a small amount of jam on a chilled plate. If it wrinkles when pushed, it is ready.

  9. Process the jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes.
  10. Remove the jars from the water bath and let them cool on a wire rack.
