Description

Tart cranberries and sweet, juicy strawberries make a deliciously festive pairing in this colorful Cranberry Strawberry Holiday Jam. Fresh orange adds a lively citrus note, while turbinado sugar balances the fruit’s natural tartness. Cinnamon, Valencia spice, and a splash of orange liqueur round out the flavors with a warm, fragrant finish that feels right at home during the holidays.

Spoon this jewel-toned jam over warm toast, English muffins, biscuits, or scones, or add a jar to your holiday breakfast or brunch table. It also makes a thoughtful homemade gift—dress it up with a pretty ribbon and share a little cranberry-strawberry sweetness with someone special.

Ingredients
  • 1 large orange (unpeeled, quartered)
  • 2 cups fresh cranberries
  • 15 ounces frozen strawberies (3 cups)
  • 3 cups granulated sugar

  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon valencia spice (orange peel)

    To a large, Heavy-Bottomed Pot, add the strawberries, cranberries, sugar, and orange mixture over medium-high heat.

    Bring the mixture to a full boil over medium-high heat and cook for 2-3 minutes.

    Meanwhile, if you're Canning this jam, prepare the jars and lids now. Otherwise, refer to the instructions below for "refrigerator jam".

    Remove the jam mixture from the heat and stir in the cinnamon, Valencia, pectin, and orange liquor.

    Carefully ladle the jam into the prepared jars while it's very hot. Secure the lids and allow the jars to cool on the counter.
