Instructions
- In a large pot add the cranberries, sugar, water, orange juice, zest and cinnamon, stir to combine.
- On high/medium heat, bring the ingredients to a boil stirring occasionally, lower heat to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes or until it thickens and all the berries have popped.
- As the jam is cooking you can mash it with a potato masher or once the mixture has cooked and thickened you can use a blender, immersion blender or food processor to blend until smooth if desired. I used a potato masher and left the jam on the chunkier side.
- Spoon into clean airtight containers or jars. Enjoy!
Notes
- The jam should be stored in tight fitting glass jars or an airtight container and refrigerated, it will keep for up to 3 weeks in the fridge. It can also be frozen, Cranberry jam will keep in the refrigerator for three weeks. You can freeze completely cool jam, place in a freezer safe container or jar. It will keep for 6-8 months in the freezer.
- Or, if you want to can the jam, it will keep well for 10 to 12 months in a cool dry place! You will need canning jars and then follow the steps on this site for sterilizing them.
