Homemade Christmas Jam
A few years ago, I hit upon the idea of presenting family and friends with baskets of homemade jam as gifts. With cherries, cinnamon and cloves, this smells and tastes like Christmas! —Marilyn Reineman, Stockton, California

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS recipe - always a winner! IT says CHRISTMAS better than anything else.... Carrie - check your pectin... IF you have trouble getting it to set you might want to add another half pouch of liquid pectin to get it to set. There are 'some' recipes that are troublemakers for me and I've found this to be a solution....
I've made this recipe 3-4 times and I love it but it's always soupy. It never seems to set. What am I doing wrong?
I received this as a Christmas gift. BEST.JAM.EVER!
My family and friends love it!!!
Sets up very well but did not like the after taste that it gave. I think it because of the ground cloves, next time I will put half of what it calls for and see if it is not so overpowering.
Just made this for Christmas gifts. It is very good and I think the recipients will love it!
YUMMY! I made this exactly as recipe states...and it's WONDERFUL. Especially good served warm on french toast or waffles.
