Introduction

This Christmas Jam is perfect for spreading on your Christmas morning croissants, glazing your ham, gifting with a pretty ribbon…or eating out of the jar with a spoon.

The fresh, sweet flavours of orange are perfectly offset by the slight tang of cranberry.

It’s sweeter than a marmalade, but tangier than a jam.

I’ve made it with whole dried cranberries, and finely chopped and it’s really up to you how you include them.

Add this one to your list – it’s a winner!

The recipe

Directions

Step 1

Use a zester to remove fine strips of peel from all of the oranges and place them in a bowl. If you don't have a zester, use a vegetable peeler to carefully remove the zest and then finely chop it.

Step 2

Use a fine zester to zest the lemon and add it to the bowl.

Step 3

Cut the lemon in half and juice it, keeping the juice to one side.

Step 4

Take a sharp knife and cut each end off the oranges and then sit them on their ends to carefully cut the peel and pith off of each one.

Step 5

Chop the orange flesh into small pieces and scrape them into a large saucepan, along with any juice.

Step 6

Add the sugar and mix together, along with the cranberries.

Step 7

Heat over medium-high until the sugar has dissolved and then turn the heat to high until the jam starts to boil.
