Cranberry Jam

Step 1

Chop the cranberries to a medium dice (or larger if you prefer).

Step 2

Combine the chopped cranberries, sugar (or sweetener) and water in a small saucepan.

Step 3

Bring to a boil on medium heat. Lower heat and simmer to about 12 minutes until the mixture is thickened and jam like. You can place a saucer in the freezer and drop ¼ teaspoon on to the dish to check the gel, but this probably isn’t needed since cranberry jam is much less exacting than other jams.

Step 4

Pour into a lidded jar or other covered container, cover and place in the refrigerator to finish thickening.
