  2. Blend cranberry jam into desired consistency using an immersion blender.

  3. Pour jam into a glass pint jar, cool until thickened and set, about 1 hour. Seal jar and refrigerate.

Recipe Note

I needed to fill some holiday cookies with jam and since raspberries and apricots weren't in season, I opted to use cranberries. This jam is lightly sweetened, fragrant, and has a beautiful color that complemented the cookies perfectly!
