Instructions
- Wash jars, lids, and bands in hot, soapy water. Place jars in a water bath canner, cover with water, and bring to a simmer (180°F). Keep them hot until ready to use.
- In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, combine cranberries, frozen strawberries, and lemon juice. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Stir in the powdered pectin. Return to a full, rolling boil that cannot be stirred down, stirring constantly.
- Add the sugar, cinnamon, allspice, and cloves. Stir until sugar is completely dissolved and bring back to a hard, rolling boil.
- Boil hard for exactly 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and skim off any foam.
- Carefully ladle the hot jam into the hot jars, leaving 1/4-inch headspace. Remove air bubbles and wipe jar rims clean.
- Center lids on jars and screw on bands until fingertip tight.
- Place jars in the canner, ensuring they are covered by at least 1-2 inches of water. Bring to a rolling boil, cover, and process for 10 minutes. Turn off heat, let jars stand for 5 minutes, then remove to a towel-lined counter to cool for 12-24 hours.
Notes
Check seals after 24 hours. The lid should not flex when pressed. Any unsealed jars should be refrigerated and used promptly.
The jam will thicken considerably as it cools.
