Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 2 cups fresh cranberries
  • 2 cups about 12-ounces fresh raspberries
  • 1 ripe pear, (peeled and cut into 1/4-inch dice)
  • 4 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 box SURE-JELL for Less or No Sugar Needed Fruit Pectin ((1.75 ounce box))
  • 2 tablespoons Grand Marnier
  • 1 orange, (juiced in a 1 cup measure. Add enough water to make 1 cup liquid)
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Instruction

  • You will need: Clean containers and lids to hold at least 6 1/2 cups of jam.
  • Wash the raspberries and place them in a small low mixing bowl. Crush the raspberries with a potato masher. Push half the pulp through a fine mesh sieve to remove part of the seeds. Discard the seeds and combine the raspberries and pulp together. Set aside.
  • Place the sugar and pectin in a large saucepan and add the orange juice and water. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat and add the cranberries. Cook for about 5 minutes or until the cranberries burst and breakdown. While cooking the cranberries, use a wooden spoon to smash the berries against the side of the saucepan. Remove from the heat.
  • Off heat, add the cinnamon, nutmeg, diced pear and all the raspberry pulp. Stir for a few minutes until well blended. Stir in the Grand Marnier and immediately fill the prepared containers to within 1/2 inch of the top.
  • Wipe off the top edges of the containers and immediately cover with lids. Allow the jam to sit at room temperature for 24 hours then refrigerate for up to 3 weeks or freeze for up to 1 year. Thaw the jam in the refrigerator before serving.
