Cranberry jam for winter
Description
A homemade winter preserve. I hope you’ll enjoy this original and simple cranberry jam recipe for winter as much as I do. I make it often now — thanks to the added strawberries, the jam isn’t as tart, but you pick up the citrus notes right away; the aroma is simply amazing! So I highly recommend this cranberry jam recipe for winter. Store in a cool, dark place.
