Cranberry-Strawberry Jam


I made use of leftover cranberries from the holidays with this cranberry and strawberry jam.  

2 cups cranberries
2 cups strawberries
1 cup raspberries
1 cup apple juice
1 package no sugar fruit pectin
1 cup sugar 
1 cup honey

Pulse berries in food processor or smash with a potato peeler.  Don't puree, you want chunks of fruit.  In a large saucepan mix berries, apple juice, pectin and 1/4 cup sugar.  Bring to boil and let boil 1 minute.  Add remaining sugar and honey.  Boil 1 more minute.  Fill canning jars and process 10 minutes in boiling water bath.  If you aren't experienced at canning, this website has instructions with pictures.  You don't need a pressure canner to can jam!



Kid approved!


I got 3 pints (or 6 jelly jars) full plus some extra for taste testing.
