🧾 Ingredients

• 5 cups fresh cranberries
• 4 cups strawberries, hulled
• 4 cups granulated sugar

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Prepare the fruit: Rinse cranberries and strawberries. Hull and roughly chop the strawberries.
2. Cook: In a large pot, combine cranberries, strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice.
3. Simmer: Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring frequently until the sugar dissolves and the fruit softens.
4. Thicken: Continue to simmer for 15–20 minutes, stirring often, until the mixture thickens and reaches jam-like consistency.
5. Test: Place a small spoonful on a chilled plate — if it gels slightly, it’s ready.
