“Life is not easy for any of us. But what of that? We must have perseverance and above all confidence in ourselves. We must believe that we are gifted for something and that this thing must be attained.” – Marie Curie

SPICY CHRISTMAS JAM

RECIPE
Ingredients
4 cups sliced strawberries (I used fresh strawberries I previously froze)
2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries
1 tsp. butter (to prevent foaming)
1 tbls. lemon juice
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp. ground ginger
1/2 tsp. ground allspice
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1/4 tsp. ground cloves
1 box Sure Jell (powdered pectin)
8 cups sugar

Method
Turn stove-top on to high heat. Place a large stock pot on burner and add butter, strawberries, cranberries, all spices and Sure Jell.

Bring mixture to a boil, stirring to prevent sticking.

Add sugar all at once and return to a rolling boil (one that doesn't stop while stirring), stirring constantly. Boil hard 1 minute.

Remove stock pot from heat and ladle jam into canning jars leaving 1/4-inch headspace. Cover jars with lids and bands and tighten just until finger tight.

Process jars 10 minutes in a boiling water bath or steam canner. Let sit on your kitchen counter-top undisturbed for 24 hours.  Store in pantry.

Yield:  10 - 8 oz. jelly jars
