Slow Cooker Christmas Jam Recipe

cranberries ((about 6 cups))

strawberries

cinnamon

nutmeg

cloves

ginger

brown sugar

Add everything to the slow cooker and stir.

Cook on HIGH for 4 hours without opening the lid during the cooking time.

When the cooking time is up, add the contents from the slow cooker into a blender. Pulse until a jam forms. DO NOT OVER BLEND OR YOU WILL MAKE CRANBERRY BUTTER.  You can use an immersion blender if you choose.

The jam will thicken a lot while it cools, don&#39;t fret. Cranberries have pectin in them.

Add the hot jam to jars or plastic freezer containers. Serve within 2 weeks or freeze. This is not a canning recipe.

Christmas Jam is the perfect spread to enjoy this holiday season. Simple ingredients gives this homemade jam recipes so much flavor.

Tablespoons Orange Zest

Cinnamon

Cloves

Allspice

Sugar

Liquid Fruit Pectin

Place the strawberries and cranberries in a food processor and pulse the ingredients into large pieces but do not puree.

Pour the mixture into a large pan or dutch oven.

Stir in the orange zest, cinnamon, cloves, all spice and granulated sugar.

Bring the mixture to a boil (stirring frequently).  Then boil the mixture for 1 minute.

Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the liquid fruit pectin.  Bring the mixture back to a boil and boil for 1 more minute (stirring constantly).

Remove the pan from the heat and let it cool for 5-10 minutes.  Skim the foam off the top of the mixture.

Pour the mixture into a storing jar leaving approximately 1/4 inch of space toward the tops.

Wipe the rims on the lids clean with a cloth and place the lids on top.  Process the jar in a water bath for 10 minutes.

Remove from the water bath and clean off with a clean towel.  Let the jars sit at room temperature for 12 hours. Then check to make sure that the jars seal correctly.

For any jars that did not seal, refrigerate for up to 1 month.  The remaining sealed jars should last in a cool dark place for up to 6 months (refrigerate after opening).
