Cranberry Jam

For cranberry sauce, I like to use a 1/2 cup of sugar in this recipe.  But, for this jam, I deliberately add what I consider to be a lot of sugar.  This will create a lovely, chunky jam that you won’t want to stop eating.  And, it might just have you stock piling bags of cranberries in the freezer… like I do.

Cranberry Jam
makes 2 heaping cups

1 12oz. bag fresh cranberries
1  1/2 cups sugar
3 Tablespoons candied orange peel, minced
1/4 cup orange juice, or water

Combine all ingredients in a small saucepan.  Bring liquid to a boil.  Then, reduce to a simmer and continue cooking until the jam reaches your desired consistency.  This should take 5-10 minutes.

(…Depending how chunky you like your sauce to be)

How long will this last in the fridge?  No clue, it disappears too quickly for me to say.
