Cranberry Jalapeño Jam

Ingredients

5 cups cranberries
4 jalapeño peppers stemmed, seeded, and minced
5 cups sugar
1 cup vinegar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1 packet liquid fruit pectin

Instructions

In a food processor, add the cranberries and vinegar. Pulse blend the cranberries until they coarsely smooth.

In a large pot over medium heat, combine the cranberry mix, jalapeño pepper, and pectin. Cook the mix to simmer for 10 minutes.

Add the sugar, cinnamon, and cloves. Stir to combine, increase the heat, and bring the mix to a boil. Boil for 1 minute, then remove from heat.
Preserve your jam

Transfer your cranberry jalapeño jam into the sterilized jars, leaving 1/4 inch at the top of each jar.

Remove any air bubbles, by sliding a chopstick or debubbler around the interior edge of the jar. Clean off any excess jam form jar rims. Place lid and ring.

Process the sealed jars in a boiling water canner. Follow your canner's instructions (waterbath for 15 minutes).

Remove the jars from the canner, and let them cool overnight (or 8 to 10 hours).

Store your preserves in a cool, dark place.

Notes*  Want a hotter jam? Leave the jalapeño seeds in. It provides an extra kick.

Food in Jars

Ingredients 
6 pounds apples, washed and quartered
2 pounds cranberries, rinsed
1 cup cranberry juice or water
1 ½ cups granulated sugar, plus more to taste

Instructions
1. Combine the apples, cranberries and liquid in a large stock pot. Place a lid on the pot and bring it to a boil. Once it is bubbling away nicely, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 30 to 45 minutes, until the apples soften and the cranberries burst.

2. Once the fruit is very tender, remove the pot from the heat and let it cool to lukewarm.

3. Work the cooked apples and cranberries through a food mill to separate out the skins and seeds.

4. Pour the milled fruit into a slow cooker and cook on low for 8 hours with the lid cocked to allow the steam to escape. Stir occasionally.

5. When the first round of cooking is done, stir the fruit and cook for another 8 hours. If your slow cooker runs hot, use a shorter length of time.

6. The fruit butter is done when it is quite thick and has reduced by about half.

7. Scrape the finished butter into a smaller pot and use an immersion blender to puree it smooth. Add the sugar to taste (this butter naturally has enough sugar and acid to be safe to can without the additional sugar. It's simply there to help smooth out the cranberries).

8. Prepare a boiling water bath and enough jars to hold 8 half pints.

9. Funnel the finished butter into the jars, leaving 1/2 inch headspace. Use a chopstick to work out the air bubbles that will get trapped (and with a butter this thick, you will have trapped air bubbles).

10. Wipe the rims, apply the lids and rings, and process in a boiling water bath canner for 15 minutes.

11. When the time is up, slide the pot off the heat and remove the lid. Let the jars cool slowly for ten minutes in the water. When that time is up, remove the jars and set them on a folded kitchen towel to cool. When the jars have cooled enough that you can comfortably handle them, check the seals. Sealed jars can be stored at room temperature for up to a year. Any unsealed jars should be refrigerated and used promptly.
