There is a storm a brewing in the atlantic, heading toward the northeast.  So in order to prepare, or just because I felt like it… I made jam!

I made two kinds of jam, cranberry apple and just plain apple.  Both were very good, but the cran apple was ridiculous. Here’s how simple it is.

Cranberry Apple Jam

8 oz fresh cranberries

1/2 an apple  (I used granny smith but another variety would work as well).

1/2 cup white sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/3 cup orange juice

1/3 cup water

Wash cranberries and chop apple into small chunks, you can leave the skin on or peel it off. In a medium sized saucepan combine all the ingredients. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer for 20 min. Let cool for 5-10 min. Using either a hand blender or a food processor mix the jam to your preference. Let cool and place in a jar or tupperware container.

Enjoy your jam in any way you please.
