Equipment
- Ladle
Ingredients
- 16 cups Cranberries (fresh or frozen) (approx. 5- 12oz bags)
- 2 Oranges
- 1 cup Water
- 2 cups Sugar
- 2 Cinnamon sticks
- 1/2 tsp Nutmeg
Instructions
- Fill the water bath and bring to a boil.
- Wash all the jars, lids, and bands in hot soapy water.
- Pour the cranberries, juice of the oranges, zest of the oranges, cinnamon sticks, nutmeg and water into a large stockpot and bring to a simmer.
- Simmer for 20-30 minutes or until the cranberries start popping and begin to soften.
- Mash the cranberries in the pot, being mindful not to smash the cinnamon sticks.
- Mix in the sugar, stir, and simmer for 5 minutes to thicken the jam. Remove the cinnamon sticks.
- Using the food funnel, fill each jar, leaving 1/2 inch headspace at the top of the jars.
- Run the bubble popper through to remove any trapped air. Adjust head space if needed.
- Wipe the rims of the jars with a clean damp towel, place the lids on the jars and tighten the bands fingertip tight.
- Place the jars into the water bath, cover, and process for 10 minutes. (adjust for altitude if necessary)
- Turn off the water bath, remove the cover, and allow to rest in the water bath for 5 additional minutes.
- Remove the jars with the jar lifter to a towel lined cutting board and allow to rest for at least 12 hours before labeling, dating, and storing. If any jars did not seal, refrigerate and use first.
