Instructions:
-
Prepare Cranberries: Start by picking over the cranberries, discarding any mushy or bruised ones. Measure out the required amount and set aside.
-
Boil Cranberries: In a large pot, bring the water to a boil. Add the cranberries and let them boil until they start popping, which should take around 3 to 5 minutes.
-
Strain Cranberries: Using a ladle, transfer the boiled cranberries into a food mill and sieve to remove any skins or seeds. This will give you a smooth cranberry base for the jam.
-
Mix Pectin and Cinnamon: Measure out four cups of the prepared cranberry mixture and pour it back into the pot. Add the pectin slowly, stirring to prevent clumping. Then, add the cinnamon sticks for that delightful hint of warmth.
-
Cook Cranberry Mixture: Bring the mixture to a slow boil over medium heat. Once it starts boiling, gradually add the sugar, stirring constantly to ensure it dissolves completely.
-
Achieve Rolling Boil: Once all the sugar is added, increase the heat to high and bring the mixture to a full rolling boil. Let it cook for an additional three minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
-
Remove from Heat: After three minutes, remove the pot from the heat. Skim off any foam that may have formed on the surface of the jam.
-
Jar the Jam: Carefully ladle the hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving a bit of headspace at the top. Seal the jars according to proper canning procedures and allow them to cool completely before storing in the refrigerator.
Now, your delicious Cranberry Cinnamon Jam is ready to be enjoyed! Spread it on toast, swirl it into yogurt, or use it as a glaze for roasted meats. However you choose to enjoy it, this jam is sure to add a burst of flavor to any dish.
