A quick stovetop cranberry jam with vibrant color and balanced tartness, ready in under 20 minutes.
Ingredients
Ingredients
- 12 oz fresh cranberries
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup water
- 1 orange zest optional
Instructions
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, stir together sugar and water until sugar dissolves, about 2 minutes—look for a glossy surface and gentle sizzling.
- Add cranberries, increase heat to medium-high, and bring to a rolling boil; you’ll hear a soft bubbling as the berries tumble.
- Reduce heat to medium and simmer, stirring occasionally, until most berries burst and the mixture thickens, about 10 minutes.
- Remove from heat and let cool 5 minutes. Transfer to a clean, airtight jar—the jam will slurp and thicken as it cools.
Notes
Jam will continue to set as it cools, so don’t worry if it seems loose at first.
For longer storage, freeze in small portions; thaw at room temperature before serving.
