So Easy Cranberry Jam Spread image

Anyone can make this, it's so simple! Give this away as gifts for the holidays. The jam will keep up to 5 days covered tightly in the refrigerator. 1 cup sugar will produce a more tart jam, increase the sugar slighty for a sweeter taste.

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 (12 ounce) bag cranberries (fresh or frozen, if using frozen do not thaw)
