Ingredients

  • 1 pound Cranberries
  • 1 cup Sugar
  • 1/4 cup Water
  • 1 tbsp Lemon Juice

Instructions

  • In a large skillet add water and cranberries, cook on low heat until cranberries start to pop and reduce. Cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Use the back of a fork to smash cranberries if you want them a little more reduced.
  • On medium-low heat, and add sugar and lemon juice. Stir continuously until all ingredients are well incorporated.
  • Bring to a boil, stirring continuously. Cook for 5 minutes.
  • If jam has any froth on top, remove with a spoon, and discard.
  • You can eat the jam right away, cool and keep in the fridge for later, or store long-term in sterilized jars sealed with lids.
