Holiday Cranberry Jam Recipe

Meet the Cook: This jam's one I make at Christmas for family and friends. Their comment is usually "good...and different". I especially like serving it for brunch, along with muffins or some toasted fruit. My husband and I live on what was once his grandparents' farm. We grow grain and raise cattle, and our garden produces vegetables and fruit to preserve. Our children are 24, 21, and 17. -Sandee Berg, Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta

It tastes wonderful, however it didn't jell. The small amount left over and poured into a dish not processed ,did jell. Could the processing in the boiling water bath have anything to do with the problem ? I really wanted to make this for gifts ! What is processed & in the jars, is to watery. Any suggestions ???

 Hi:

 

It's been about 3 days and the jam hasn't set.  I thought cranberries were high in pectin and would set, but the jam isn't.  Do I need to reprocess?  I used the BWB method for 10 mins. 

 Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks,

Patty
