Description
This easy gluten free cranberry jam cooks down on the stovetop in about 20 minutes, with no pectin needed. It’s sweet, tart, and bright, perfect for holiday toast, biscuits, and brunch. Make a batch to keep in the fridge or share in small jars as a homemade gift.
Ingredients
- 3 1/2 cups Fresh Cranberries
- 1 cup Granulated Sugar
- 1/2 cup Orange Juice
- 2 tsp. Orange Zest
- 1 cup Water
Instructions
In a sauce pan add the cranberries, sugar, orange juice, grated orange peel and water. Cook on medium low heat until it begins to simmer.
Continue to simmer the jam while stirring constantly to keep the jam from burning on the bottom of the pan. This should take 10-12 minutes to cook the ingredients down into a jam.
The cranberries will begin to pop. Watch out for hot splatter!
Once the jam has reached the consistency you desire remove the pan from heat.
Pour the jam into a heat proof jar and let sit on the counter until it cools completely.
Once the jam is cooled seal the jar and store in your refrigerator for up to 2 to 3 weeks.
