INGREDIENTS
1 kg cranberries
1 kg sugar
100 ml water
METHOD
1. Prepare the Cranberries:
Start by washing the cranberries thoroughly, ensuring they are clean and free of any debris.
2. Simmer in Sweetness:
In a large pot, combine the washed cranberries with sugar and water. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, allowing the cranberries to release their natural juices and meld with the sweetness of sugar.
3. Infuse the Flavors:
Simmer the pot on medium-low heat for 20-30 minutes, allowing the cranberries to break down and intensify the flavours. The enticing aroma of cranberries will fill your kitchen, promising a taste sensation with every stir.
4. Achieve the Perfect Consistency:
As the cranberries soften and the mixture thickens, aim for the desired jam consistency. The vibrant red hue and enticing fragrance will signal that your cranberry jam is ready to be enjoyed.
5. Preserve in Jars:
Carefully pour the freshly made cranberry jam into sterilized jars, ensuring they are tightly closed to preserve the jam’s freshness. This step not only seals in the homemade goodness but also allows you to share the joy of this delectable treat.
