I love cranberry. I mean really love cranberry. I am one of those people that want everything pumpkin from Oct-mid Nov and then cranberry for the rest of the year. My Cranberry Salsa recipe is well loved, so I decide to make some jam using nearly the same ingredients.
Cranberry Pepper Jam
12 oz package fresh cranberries
an apple, peeled & chopped
1/4 C green onion, chopped
1/4 C cilantro, chopped
1 small jalapeno pepper, chopped
1 C sugar
juice from 2 limes
optional: lime zest
Directions: Put all the ingredients in a sauce pan and bring to a boil over medium
heat, stirring frequently. Turn the heat down and continue to stir for approximately an hour.
I didn't chop my apple very small so there were big chunks of it, which I removed. If you want to can the jam, I recommend that you chop the apple smaller before cooking. Apple works as a natural pectin.
After it cooked a little bit I blended up in our Magic Bullet. Refrigerate.
I brought some over to my friend (the hand model below) and she couldn't get enough. She tried it on crackers and some sweet lemon bread.
You can taste the jalapeno & cilantro, but it's also sweet. Try it and let me know what you think!
