Cranberry jam

Ingredients

5 cups fresh cranberries

(¾ cup) sugar add a little more for more sweetness

1 large cinnamon stick

2 tablespoons rose water optional - alternatively plain water

1 tablespoon orange and lemon zest

Directions

Wash and get the cranberries ready - ideally wash ahead of time so these are nice and dry when making the jam. No worries if they are wet.

Put the ingredients (cranberries, sugar a tiny pinch of salt, rose water, orange zest or peel and the cinnamon stick in a large enough pan over a low heat.

Simmer for 12-13 minutes until the cranberries have softened and have a thick texture.

While still cooking or right after cooking has been finalised and you have turned the heat off, spoon the jam into a 400g sterilised jar and seal.
