CRAN-RASPBERRY JAM

Cran-Raspberry Jam image

I'm sure to pick up extra bags of cranberries for the freezer in the fall so that I can make this lovely, delicious jam year-round. My kids love it on peanut butter sandwiches. Jars of this pretty ruby-colored jam also make great gifts. -Marjilee Booth, Chino Hills, California
