Spiced Cranberry Jam
Sweet with a refreshingly tart cranberry flavor. All the different spices really add a unique and lovely flavor to this jam.
- 2 12 oz. Bags fresh cranberries
- 1 1/2 cups White sugar
- 1 cup Dark brown sugar
- 1/2 cup Water
- 1/2 cup Freshly squeezed Orange Juice
- 1 Orange, zested
- 1 tsp. Ginger root; freshly grated (about 1 inch piece)
- 2 tsp. Ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp. Ground ginger
- 1/2 tsp. Ground cloves
- 1/2 tsp. Ground allspice
- 6 Grinds Fresh Black pepper
Combine all ingredients in a large pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 12 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until most of the berries are popped. Let cool slightly.
Thoroughly blend the cranberries with an emulsion blender into desired consistency. Pour jam into glass pint sized jars. Cool until thickened and set; about 1 hour. Refrigerate until ready to use.
