Both apples and cranberries are naturally high in pectin, the component that causes food to “gel.” That means you won’t have to add supplements to get the jam to firm up, making this a great recipe for beginning canners. You can process the jam in large (1-pint) jars, but I like to use small, picnic-size jars to give as gifts.
Ingredients
2 pounds 5 1 12 -ounce
Method
Prepare canning jars by sterilizing according to the manufacturer’s directions.
Place chopped apples in a large, heavy pot. Add cranberries, sugar, apple juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, zest, and lemon juice. Bring to boil over medium-high heat.
Reduce heat to medium. Cook, stirring frequently, for 30 minutes or until mixture thickens (jam will thicken more once cooled).
