Making Cranberry Jam ...
'Tis the season to make Cranberry Jam (1 bag for $1.95 at Berkeley Bowl ... post-holiday sale) makes 2 jars of jam which if bought at the store would be $4.95 each + additional as cranberry jam is an exotic variety.
Super easy... and super tasty.
Ingredients:
1 bag of fresh cranberries
1 cup apple juice, orange juice, or grape juice
1 cup brown sugar, or any other sweetener ... except honey as cooked honey clogs nadis and NO artificial sweetners as those will kill you.
1. Wash the cranberries. Go thru them and throw away all the ones that have gone soft.
2. Place all ingredients in a large heavy saucepan.
3. Bring mixture to a boil. I cover it so it comes to a boil faster, but watch it, as it can boil over. After it starts boiling, uncover, reduce heat and simmer for about 15 minutes.
The cranberries will begin to pop on their own. Stir it every few minutes, and as you stir, pop the cranberries that might be still whole. It’s the pectin inside the cranberries that helps the sauce thicken.
4. After the cranberries are cooked. Remove from heat and let cool. Be careful, the mixture is VERY HOT and will burn you.
5.Transfer to smaller jars or plastic bowls.
