Cranberry Jam

This is a festive recipe for cranberry jam, it will be perfect with your roast turkey on Christmas day.
During the year I collect my empty jars from jams and salsas etc so when it’s jam time you don’t have to waste your money on jars!

Makes 1 large jar.

This is what you need;

300g frozen cranberries
1tsp cloves
1 cinnamon stick
2 oranges, zest and juice
1 tbsp lemon juice
500 ml water
300g caster sugar

Add all your ingredients to a saucepan, put the cloves and cinnamon stick in a muslin, let this simmer for 2 hours and stir occasionally. Sterilize your jar and once the jam is done pour over and cover the opening with baking parchment, once cooled, put the lid on and leave it in the fridge until it’s ready to use. Will keep in the fridge for up to 3-5 months.
Tip – Use your leftover turkey and make a nice sandwich for lunch and spread a thick layer of this jam and Christmas will be in every bite.
