Green Cranberry and Quince Jam
Description
Perfect for stocking up for winter. As you can see, this green cranberry jam recipe is quite unusual. I usually use it when the cranberries aren’t all fully ripe and include some green berries. When harvesting, you often get quite a lot of them—and you shouldn’t just throw them away! Once you know how to make jam from green cranberries, you’ll have a way out of this situation. It turns out tasty and unusual—give it a try. Jars keep for up to a year in a cool place.
