Makes ~4 cups

Ingredients

• 4 cups fresh cranberries, rinsed
• 2 medium oranges
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ½ teaspoon ground ginger
• ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg

Instructions

• Take one orange and wash, zest, and juice it. Peel the two oranges, remove all white skins and cut oranges into smaller pieces.
• Place the cranberries, peeled orange pieces, orange zest, orange juice, sugar, and all the spices in a saucepan.
• Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat to low. Stir every 2 to 3 minutes to pop the cranberries and keep the mixture from burning. Simmer for 15 to 20 minutes or until the jam thickens.
• Carefully pour the hot jam into about 3 small glass jars, up to the top. Cover immediately with lid to create an airtight seal. Let cool. Refrigerate and use within 1 month.
