Why We Love This Recipe

If you can boil water, you can make luscious homemade cranberry syrup and cranberry jam. Cranberries are one of our family’s favorite seasonal flavors. Both the syrup and the jam are so versatile; we put them on everything. And the bright red color says happy holidays with every bite.

Ingredients

3 ingredient to make cranberry syrup and jam - water, sugar, cranberries

Let’s Make Homemade Cranberry Syrup and Cranberry Jam

  1. Place ingredients into a stovetop pan.
  2. Bring it to a boil for 1 minute until the berries begin to pop.
  3. Reduce it to a simmer for 5 minutes.
  4. Remove it from the heat and let it cool completely.

  2. Store both in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator.

Cranberry Jam

This jam is delicious as a spread by itself on toast, bagels, and English muffins. It also makes a fantastic spread on a cheese platter for the holidays.

Cranberry Syrup

One of our favorite ways to use this syrup is on Greek yogurt or vanilla ice cream. Of course, it’s perfect on pancakes, waffles, and French toast. It’s great in a smoothie or milkshake. Try a teaspoon with some Prosecco or white wine for some holiday cheer.

KKM Tips

  • I recommend buying fresh cranberries in bulk during the holiday season. Freeze the bags of cranberries for up to a year and use them year-round.
  • Store fresh cranberries in the refrigerator for up to a month. I like to store them in large mason jars with a lid.
  • This syrup and jam recipe lasts for 2 weeks in the refrigerator in an airtight jar or container.
