2cupscranberrieshalved
Instructions
Chop the strawberries and cranberries before measuring. If the cranberries are particularly large you can cut them in quarters instead of half.
Bring all of the ingredients together and simmer slowly for about a half hour, until most of the liquid has boiled off and the jam begins to take on a thickened consistency. Skim off any white foam that comes to the top.
Do not let the jam boil rapidly, a slow simmer is best to maintain identifiable pieces of the fruit in the jam and keep its clear appearance.
