Sweet strawberries and tart cranberries come together to make one delicious jam! Simply add a cute tag with ribbon and you've got the perfect gift for the holidays!
Have your sterilized jars, rims, bands and canning tools ready.
Working in batches, pulse the strawberries and cranberries in a food processor. Pulse until desired consistency, smooth or chunky, I prefer chunks of fruit in my jam.
Pour the processed fruit and sugar into a large heavy-bottom pot over medium high heat; stir to combine. Bring the fruit and sugar mixture to a full rolling boil. Boil for 1 minute.
Remove the pot from the heat and stir in pectin. Allow the jam to cool for 5 minutes, and then skim off the foam.
Ladle the hot jam mixture into sterile half-pint jars, leaving a 1/4-inch headspace. Wipe jar rims clean, cover with hot lids and screw down the bands fingertip tight.
Process the jars for 10 minutes in a water bath.
Cook’s Note: The processing time listed is for altitudes of 1,000 feet or less. Add 1 minute to the processing time for each 1,000 feet of additional altitude.
