A friends Mom shared this recipe with me.I've also made this with fresh strawberries but I'm sharing the way it was given to me. After a Holiday meal I like to send my family and friends home with leftovers and a jar of this.Hope you enjoy!

Steps

1

Sterilize jars&bands according to manufacturers instructions. I sterilize jars in the water canner so the water is ready for processing when jam is cooked.
2

Bring a small pan of water to boil.Remove from heat add lids and set aside.
3

Strain strawberries Reserving the juice. Crush strawberries and set aside. Add enough water to reserved juice to equal 1and 1/2 cup.
4

Wash cranberries. In large pot add cranberries sugar and juice/water mixture.
5

Bring mixture to a rolling boil, reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Continue to stir so this will not burn
6

After 15 minutes add crushed strawberries bring back up to rolling boil reduce heat and simmer for additional 10 minutes. Stirring frequently.
7

After 10 minutes remove jam from heat. Spoon jam into jars leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Make sure no air is in jam, l do this by taking a wooden skewer and stiirring jam. Clean jar rims and place lids and bands on.do not over tighten hand tight is fine.
8

Add jars to water bath canner and process for recommended time for jam according to where you live.Where I live its 10 minutes.
9

After processing remove from canner and let sit undisturbed for 24 hours. After 24 hours enjoy or store in cool dark place up to 9 months. If you have a jar that doesn't seal store in refrigerator and use within 3 weeks.
