🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶

The season is upon us! There is nothing like sweet treats this time of year, and gifting them is even better!  This Christmas Morning Jam is the perfect compliment to fresh baked bread, toasted, and a delicious, rich cup of coffee on a sweet Christmas morning.  You need this coffee in your life by the way 👉👉Click here

I made this jam for gifts, but kept some for myself too.  Without further fanfare, below is what I did.

You will need:

        2 pkg frozen strawberries ( I used 2 quarts fresh)
        2 lb cranberries, fresh or frozen
        8 c granulated sugar (yes,  8 cups)
        1 1/2 box liquid fruit pectin (3 envelopes)
        Cinnamon sticks to grate, or regular cinnamon dry spice
        Whole Nutmeg, you will grate, or regular Nutmeg dry spice
        *12 mason jelly and jam jars (8 oz size)
What now?:
  1. Place all the berries in a very large pot with the sugar.
  2. Cook long enough for the cranberries to break.
  3. Right here I used a  potato masher to mush up all the fruit as the frozen strawberry pieces can be quite large. There will be a lot of foam, Like so much that I was certain I did something wrong. Before I add in the pectin , I skimmed the foam off the top.
  4. Add the pectin.
  5. Bring it to a **full rolling boil and stir continuously for 2 minutes.
  6. More foam, skim it off
  7. Remove from heat and let cool 5 minutes.
  8. Pour into clean, ***sterilized jars, leaving 1/4″ at the top of each jar.
  9. Before capping the jars I grated the cinnamon and nutmeg to the top in each jar. Little Christmas extra somethin’ somethin’.
  10. Put on caps and process in a pot of boiling water, covering the jars, for 15 minutes.
  11. Let cool  making sure each jar is closed securely – you will hear them POP.

Few Notes:

* I used these 👉jars

**a full rolling boil is when you can’t stir it to stop the boiling.

***I sterilize my jars and lids by first cleaning them, and adding to a large pot of boiling water for 15 minutes.

This was so easy really, and am sad I never thought to do it more often!  Wishing you a sweet holiday filled with all good things!
