4 cups water
5-1/2 cups sugar, measured into separate bowl

Tips:

  • Use ripe cranberries: For the best flavor, use ripe, fresh cranberries. Avoid cranberries that are bruised or have soft spots.
  • Prepare the cranberries properly: Rinse the cranberries thoroughly under cold water and remove any stems or leaves.
  • Use the right amount of pectin: Pectin is a natural thickener that helps the jam to set. Be sure to use the amount of pectin specified in the recipe.
  • Cook the jam to the right temperature: The jam is done when it reaches a temperature of 220°F (105°C). Use a candy thermometer to measure the temperature accurately.
  • Let the jam cool completely: Once the jam is cooked, let it cool completely before transferring it to jars. This will help the jam to set properly.

Conclusion:

Cranberry jam is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be enjoyed on toast, scones, or muffins. It can also be used as a filling for pies and tarts. With a few simple ingredients and a little time, you can easily make your own cranberry jam at home. So next time you have a craving for something sweet and tart, give this recipe a try!
