Description
A delightful and festive jam made with cranberries, strawberries, and a hint of orange zest, perfect for holiday gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries
- 2 cups fresh or frozen strawberries
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the fruit: If using fresh cranberries, sort through them and remove any stems or bruised berries. You can puree the strawberries in a blender if you want them smoother.
- Combine ingredients: In your crockpot, add cranberries, strawberries, sugar, orange zest, juice, and cinnamon. Give it a good stir to combine everything.
- Cook: Set your crockpot on low for about 240-300 minutes. This slow cooking allows the flavors to come together, transforming the ingredients into a glorious jam.
- Blend (optional): Once cooked, if you prefer a smoother consistency, use an immersion blender to blend everything until it reaches your desired texture.
- Cool and store: Let the jam cool before transferring it to clean, sterilized jars. Seal them tightly and store in the fridge.
Notes
This jam can also be frozen for year-round enjoyment.
