Cranberry Jam with Honey
Description
Homemade preserves keep for a long time. In general, you can edit this cranberry jam on honey recipe however you like. The original had only honey and berries, but it turned out a bit too tart. And you should want to recharge with vitamins! So I also added sugar. As for honey for this simple cranberry jam on honey recipe, linden or floral honey works best. That honey is the most aromatic and fragrant; it will pass its aromatic nuance through the whole jam! Try it — in winter with tea it will be delicious. Jars keep for up to a year in a cool place.

2. When the berries have softened in their own juice, gently press and mash them into a purée—preferably with a spatula (this helps keep the juice from splashing too much). It's fine if some berries stay whole.
