Ingredients

  • 1 cup cranberries chopped (after measuring)
  • 1/3 cup sugar or allulose sweetener or honey or maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup water

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Chop the cranberries to a medium dice (or larger if you prefer).
  2. Combine the chopped cranberries, sugar (or sweetener) and water in a small saucepan.
  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.
  4. Pour into a lidded jar or other covered container, cover and place in the refrigerator to finish thickening.

Notes

  • The listed calorie count is for 1/8 of the recipe, about 2 Tablespoons, made with sugar.  If made with allulose sweetener, the calorie count would be about 6 for the same quantity.
