Ingredients

  • 5 cups cranberries
  • 4 jalapeño peppers stemmed, seeded, and minced
  • 5 cups sugar
  • 1 cup vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 packet liquid fruit pectin

Instructions

Prep to preserve

  • If you are preserving, sterilize your jars by submerging them under boiling water for 5 minutes.

Make your jam

  • In a food processor, add the cranberries and vinegar. Pulse blend the cranberries until they coarsely smooth.
  • In a large pot over medium heat, combine the cranberry mix, jalapeño pepper, and pectin. Cook the mix to simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Add the sugar, cinnamon, and cloves. Stir to combine, increase the heat, and bring the mix to a boil. Boil for 1 minute, then remove from heat.

Preserve your jam

  • Transfer your cranberry jalapeño jam into the sterilized jars, leaving 1/4 inch at the top of each jar.
  • Remove any air bubbles, by sliding a knife around the interior edge of the jar. Clean off any excess jam form jar rims. Seal the jars.
  • Process the sealed jars in a boiling water canner. Follow your canner's instructions (bathe the jars for about 15 minutes).
  • Remove the jars from the canner, and let them cool overnight (or 8 to 10 hours).
  • Store your preserves in a cool, dark place.
