Cranberry Tangerine Jam Food

TANGERINE-CRANBERRY JAM

Steps:

• In a medium-size pan over medium-high heat, combine all ingredients and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, for 5 minutes. If too watery, simmer uncovered until thick and jamlike. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

IN A CRANBERRY JAM

Steps:

• Combine all the ingredients into a small, non-reactive saucepan.
• Bring to a simmer and reduce by two-thirds or until the mixture has thickened to the consistency of a loose jam. Remember to keep the heat low to prevent the jam from burning.

CRANBERRY JELLY

Steps:

• Put the cranberries in a saucepan. Remove wide strips of zest from 1/2 orange with a peeler; add to the saucepan with the juice of both oranges (about 1/2 cup). Add the sugar, coriander, a pinch of salt and 1 cup water. Bring to a simmer over medium heat; cook, stirring occasionally, until the berries burst and the sauce thickens, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Remove from the heat and remove the orange zest; stir in the vanilla. Transfer to a blender and puree until smooth. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a serving dish, pushing the sauce through with a rubber spatula. Refrigerate until set, at least 3 hours.

CRANBERRY TANGERINE JAM

Steps:

• In large pot combine cranberries, water and juice. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, simmer covered until cranberries pop. Remove from heat and cool for 1 hour. Then transfer cranberry mixture to a blender or food processor. Cover and blend or process until smooth. Return to pot.
• Add sugar and cinnamon, stir. Bring to a boil stirring constantly. Reduce heat and simmer for about 25 minutes or until mixture is thickened, stirring frequently. Remove from heat. Discard cinnamon stick.
• Ladle into hot sterilized 4 oz jars, leaving 1/4" headspace. Wipe rims and add lids.
• Process jars for your recommended altitude.
• I like chunkier jam, so I will instead blend half the cranberries, water and juice first before cooking, then put blended berry mixer and whole berries into pot and go to step 2. Or just process all the fruit until smooth, then go onto step 2. This cuts out the 1 hour of cooling time.
• If you are using frozen berries, just defrost them in cool water. Frozen cranberries last up to one year. The older they are the more wrinkled the berries become. Any mush berries should be discarded.

CERTO® CRANBERRY JAM

Steps:

• Bring boiling-water canner, half full with water, to simmer. Wash jars and screw bands in hot soapy water; rinse with warm water. Pour boiling water over flat lids in saucepan off the heat. Let stand in hot water until ready to use. Drain jars well before filling.
• Place cranberries and water in large saucepan. Bring to boil. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer 10 min. Press through a sieve, if desired. Measure exactly 7-1/2 cups prepared fruit into 6- or 8-qt. saucepot.
• Stir sugar into prepared fruit in saucepot. Add butter to reduce foaming. Bring mixture to full rolling boil (a boil that doesn't stop bubbling when stirred) on high heat, stirring constantly. Stir in pectin. Return to full rolling boil and boil exactly 1 min., stirring constantly. Skim off any foam with metal spoon.
• Ladle quickly into prepared jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of tops. Wipe jar rims and threads. Cover with two-piece lids. Screw bands tightly. Place jars on elevated rack in canner. Lower rack into canner. (Water must cover jars by 1 to 2 inches. Add boiling water, if necessary.) Cover; bring water to gentle boil. Process 10 min. Remove jars and place upright on a towel to cool completely. After jars cool, check seals by pressing middles of lids with finger. (If lids spring back, lids are not sealed and refrigeration is necessary.)

CRANBERRY JAM

Steps:

• Bring all ingredients to a boil in a 2-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 20 minutes (jam will continue to thicken as it cools).
• Force jam through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, discarding skins and seeds. Cool, stirring occasionally.

CRANBERRY TANGERINE CONSERVE

Steps:

• Remove a 4-by 1-inch strip of zest from 1 tangerine with a sharp vegetable peeler (preferably Y-shaped), then scrape off any white pith from strip. Squeeze 1/3 cup juice from tangerines.
• Bring juice, zest strip, and remaining ingredients to a boil in a heavy medium saucepan, stirring until sugar has dissolved, then simmer, uncovered, until berries have burst, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from heat and cool completely. Discard zest before serving if desired.
